Was it good for you
or
has the British Summer
done for you?

Taken at face value
becomes meaningless
when masks hide your face.

Maybe the Sun's become Klingon
and is cloaked,
when I mentioned this
She almost choked on her Muesli
and said,
that's just confusing me
I boldly went on.

Maybe this is the dark age,
imagine,
no internet
no refresh page
no open mic' on a world stage,

except for the instant coffee
expressing an interest in anything
is free
'and always will be'
