#regulars
Outside the tower
In fear people cower
Outside that they call the slums
Where people were nothing but bums
Till one day you are called inside
they say the tower you must climb
you are chosen they say
there is a role you will need to portray
you need to conquer
this 300+ floored tower
And at the top they promise
A land full of promise
A wish will be granted
You'll have anything you wanted
You then build dreams as high as the tower
Only to find disappointment
outside they call you chosen
inside they call you a regular
Along with people that were also "chosen"
You must climb with them
live with them
befriend them
Fight them
Betray them
**** them
Step on them to climb
those same people as you
those same people who were chosen
those same people who were called regulars
those same people that share dreams as you
you need to beat them
and carry the weight of betrayals to climb on top
will you still accept
the title of
a REGULAR?

Monday morning and here they wait
proffering their passports - pleasure cards
submitted to scanning for our next date.
Returning regular regards.
Brave Ben Hayes benign war hero
veteran of bellicose books
stalker of the cinema's front row
lover of library ladies' looks.
Miss Patterson reads the romantics
that free her from kindly caring
and meddling medical antics
that prevent her feelings flaring.
Finally here comes Francis
who craves crime and thriller novels
demented detectives dangerous dodges
devoted while the narrative unravels.
Then there's me. I'm normal.
