WHEN THE REALITY RUNS OUT
WHEN THE REALITY RUNS OUT
The world is broken.
Like it is forever Monday.
One piece of reality doesn't
quite fit into another
piece of reality
a piano and an armchair
sitting on top of
a ******* tip
both wondering how
they had got here
as if they were
a discussion on
a TV
chat show
Springs sprung forth
from its tattered seat
the piano trying to smile
despite its broken teeth.
In the distance
a scarecrow semaphoring
abandon meaning
all ye who enter here.
This moment in time
without any time.
Sans this
Sans that.
The world runs out.
The pavement crumbles back into dust.
Scarecrow a crucified
Christ in a sunset.
A crow landing
on its shoulder
become now
the CΓΊ Chulainn of Irish legend.
"If you want the world
to continue
please add more money..."
bleep bleep bleep bleep
