conformity/uniformity
the taste of obsequiousness
with a subtle hint
of your brand
(just on the back of the tongue)
of boot polish
the ploy/play
is both carrot
and the stick
futility is
a Makita power drill
cordless as fuck
waterproof
and a funny
shade of green
reality
is shaded grey
to hide the gaps,
the tears/tears
and
the rips/drips
depression
is a self indulgent fluttering
of endless beige
self-addressed envelopes
hope
is a brilliant dusk
a glorious blaze
but then....
the night
and the night
she brings her
A-Game!
every single time
pain
in an invisible
cage of razors
turned in and of itself
and eternity
may
just as well be
just another red texta circle
on a twenty dollar calendar
