(20 minute poetry)
On a brighter theme
there's a meme
they made
from the corpses of
the last crusade.
Social media aside,
out have got it in and
inside got us out.
The little victory
a seat
that someone saved
for me
when things are sent to try us
why not
try them on for size?
back in the moles lair
underneath
Canada Square but
it's a waste of my time
on the
Jubilee line.
Disintegration like
hesitation
is a slow business
and I'm getting there
slowly.
Fighting inertia
while
submitting
to atmospheric pressure
( which doesn't feel heavy )
but I'm collapsing
trapped in
the traps.
I should have eaten breakfast
taken some toast
made it last,
and at last
I'm here,
no exhilaration or
exultation,
it looks and feels like
I'm attending my own
exhumation.
On a brighter theme
which I cannot find until
the sun comes up
and changes my mind
I'll switch on
the headlamps.
