99% accurate
but
if you're the one it didn't work on
it becomes 100% inaccurate.

giving it a rating of six on the chaos scale
and six for me in anything is an automatic fail.

Happy Monday said glumly at twenty minutes to six
and six factors in quite readily when you're thinking
about next Friday.

If you can
so can I
said the weird guy,
the girl looked
shook her head
wondering
what was wrong with him

not sure what that's about
anyway
I do know
we're all about something,
what that something might be
is
up to you as it is up to me.

Sunday
did you pray for me
again?

I want now what's for offer
in the evermore
but
quite sure
I won't get it.

Looking forward to Monday?
yes me too.

They'll have a ceremony and that'll be the end of me and then they'll forget me and go about their business.

They're all the same
they put your name on the payroll
and think you'll roll over,

pull over and stop the world
I'm getting out and then they'll
have a ceremony
do you get the gist?

you'll be missed until a new employee arrives
but that lot will survive whatever happens

and whatever happens, is not my concern
I work, I earn
and when they play me out of the game
I'll still be here or somewhere else.

I tried to seal the crack of dawn,
but it didn't work
unlike me who has to work
if only to keep the algorithm alive,

being in time doesn't matter when
you're almost out of time
when the clock wants to knock you out
but you come back fighting

and the light floods in.

Those restless limbs
torn
by future talk of psalms and hymns

they crooned and sighed
then crucified

Neighbours talking over the garden gate
headscarves high
late sixties on the council estate.

I'm going shopping
said Mum
and off she'd run to
catch the bus
which came at twenty past and twenty to
the hour.
I miss her.

If you have not received a card
don't be sad
please don't take it hard
after all it's just a card

the referee's got more.

Oh Fauntelroy you annoy me take the images only you see
cast them in the bright sunlight
and me in the midnight of my dream.

you never really knew me as I, never knew my identity but your camera sees right through me, apparition that I am,

She gives me love quite freely
Oh really?
YES
quite freely
someone up there deals me
an ace of hearts
