Then you realise that it's not new,
it's you,
change!,
has it come to this?

Tik-Tok
the eyes lock
the brain disengages
someone, somewhere
stages a coup,
not new,
but not you.

Below me
on the seventeenth floor
the idiot is drilling again,
I think he thinks he's
drilling for gold,
I've told him
he needs to head for the hills
or
keep taking the pills
he
just drills.
idiot.
