from But We’ve Always Been Like This

5  Day Five
 
We all know someone
 
Access the money of your view’s full take.
See her bloom from a vase far too small for
her whilst the tree outside spreads roots and great
crown into earth and sky. If you explore
 
and manage to read this backwards it means
who is the most hated no upfront costs
this and this and this four scary facts scream
about eliminator lives lost
 
a loophole on winter’s beachhead, Due
to restrictions on this platform this product
means you age backwards. Workmen hack new
roots that the outside tree has grown. Deduct,

6 Day Six
 
so memo gone around
 
A bigger vase so she can flourish again.
Pastimes are awaiting reopening
Folk like me who have no skin in the game.
Signs from decades gone, keep calm and shopping.
 
What games do kids play in a live warzone?
My eyes are dim, I cannot see. My specs
blasted smashed in front of me. Drones, drones, drone

“It’s been fliipped on its head.” she says “It’s
harming everybody else.” Pastimes
are becoming present times and fits
even future times. Re-opening prime
 
war memories in old folk, veterans .
Those who had skin in the game, open wounds.
