Point Form

Is this the pointy end?

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

no matter how loud or long  you shout

no one wants to listen no one wants hear

they just want vacations and beer

handouts hands up and indulgent cheer

so i'm gonna tell this tale in point form

and so i'm gonna tell you

like it's just a fuckin list

yes there'll be a handout

to cover anything you've missed

yes there'll be a handout

it will look similar to a list

yes there'll be a handout

in case you came here pissed

yes there'll be a handout

surely you get the jist?

1. i speak generally about the vibe i get from the rest of the world nowadays we are indeed living in uniquely strange times

2. after the chicken has rested be wistful melancholic and apathetic

3. reality tv is boring and way past its best before date.  oxymoronic psychobabble .  an inferior second rate of dumbing the dumbest.

4.  i'm not sure if you inhibit or radiate my special brand of mental health issues quandaries and maladies?

5. i'm not sure if you get my sadness its just rewired

... expired

... uninspired

... retired

out of date 

hard to rate

what a state

love to hate an irradiated madness

6. Some badness

7.  i remember one morning sitting with colleagues in a meeting room approximately 29 kilometres from Sydney.  The agenda that day was enjoying an intravenous cocktail of liquid amphetamine and cocaine.  no minutes no memos no flowcharts or spreadsheets.  just a massive taste

7a. that was some freaky and fucked up shit indeed

speed

speed

speed

speed

and coke

{{{[[[<<<((( WOW )))>>>]]]}}}

7b. we spoke of the fish that run the stock market and long sells.

7c. we bandied about  long haired dogs being discriminated against by the baking industry.

8. have a french stick  (no desert on account of the dog hair)

9. close meeting by thanking no one for nothing 

surreal poetry
