every time I walk past this relationship// I think look at that derelict erection//
all boarded up and spray-painted // what a rotten shame//
it just needs a bit// of investment // some TLC // it’s so well built// it’s turn -of -the century//
I bet it just needs a new roof// or a re-wire lets re-wire //
the energy source// stop investing in// MenAreFromMars// fossil-fuels-Barclays
// this is a classic Revolution// this earth should be a listed// private property
every time I jet-jetison the airspace// breathe the blueblood of this special relationship//
in my easyDrone I think// if I leave it as it is // it will just crumble
I can build someone new in it’s place
is it past the point of saving?
did we make the right decision?
stop doublethinking yourself
this paperback is a flat pack wardrobe//
it went up ok, looked ok,// is everything going to be ok?
for three years// for an estimate of 4.54 billion years// since 1859 //since 1984
but it’s wedding-dress-on-order-from-China cheap// but it’s 4-wigs-from-the-
United-States-Of-Annus-Anus-Horribilis-for-49-dollars cheap//
but it’s zebu-steak-disposable-staff-at-Wetherspanners cheap
cheap cheap sings the canary in the green-spattered tower-room
