Stuck in a dead end
Looking forwards to the weekend
I don't know
I don't know
How I can cope
A collection of poems and short stories, from a long time ago and from today. Some are light hearted, others are more serious, some are simply extracts from larger pieces of ficiton I am writing.

01/09 Stuck
30/08 Capitalism
I walk this walk every day
And it won't ever go away
It's ingrained in my memory
Ingrained in my head
But I want to be elsewhere
Like - in my bed
But this walk is compulsory
For our capitalist reign
I say it's stupid
But the earth says, "wrong again."
I've read interesting articles
That say thr time is near
That post-capitalism will rear a head
And and say that
It's alright
It's all dead
You can be what you want today
You can be who you want today
But that's not true
It's never going to be true
Because I know I'll be walking this walk
I know I'll be talking these words
Tomorrow
And the day after
And the day after
29/08 Boom
Boom
And I am broken
Boom
And my heart falls
Boom
And it lands on the floor
Boom
Outside ribcage walls
Boom
I'm bending over
Boom
I'm falling down
Boom
I'm not really here
Boom
Kick me out of town
28/08 Retort
But you are here
So face it
You've got no other choice
The others refused you
They left you in the muck
In the 'sometime afters'
In the 'I'll get back to you's
Face it
You're a left behind
And we're the only ones
Who will accept you
27/08 Face It
Face it
I'm not meant for this
Face it
I'm not
Meant to be here
I'm dealing with stress
In a place
Where I'm a mess
Face it
Please
I'm not meant to be here
26/08 If I was
If I was an artist
I'd paint a picture
To make you look just write
If I was a song man
I'd write you a lyric
To make your name
Sound sweet
If I was a writer
I'd write you a poem
To make you sound
The best
If I was a girl
I'd invite you into my heart
And keep you to my chest
25/08 You
In a month or two
I'm getting married to you
When I met you
I was broken inside
But you placed your hand
On my heart
And patched me up right
I feel alive
When I am beside
You
