Living in a simulation apparently, I'd like a word with the programmers!

@Truthhurts101UK What the fook is going on
Come on people WAKE UP
Bus fares up to £3 , a doubling of business rates etc etc etc
We're being shit on from a great height and now we're got a standing army in free accommodation with no jobs to go to or incentive to integrate
Anyone got any idea why?

Crickets and moths limber
Street lights smiles widen
Foxes, unshaved flick through A to Zs
Woodland nymphs pour black stain into streams turning the ocean thick
Kebab meat turns
It's coming
We give in eventually
Hoping
we wake again with memories
Intact

Hey
Can you keep it dowm
If your mate ain't coming
Godo or who ever
It's not our problem
We're trying to have a family barbecue
Fuck sake

Seven days
That's all they have
Those gnats that buzz you in the cool of the evening
A week to meet and mate amidst the choatic air play
Not much to show for a life
Maybe
A back of the neck love bite gifted to you
Then gone

It was a quite night in the UK border force command centre
It was late
Caffeine was in command
The radio crackled
Alpha one to control
We've intercepted a vessel
Approaching Dover
Containing four males dressed as black and white Minstrels
Please advice? Over

[Carl McCabe @CarlMcCabe8]

Look at the pretty youth
On screen
famous for being young
Executives
Vacant
Vicarious
Ventures
Bukowski would have driven over them
It's how well you walk through the fire
Not how well you know Nandos
Menu
That counts

You can read all the great works
Ingest the messages and opinions
However
A tear contains more emotion and information than all the possible combinations of letters and words that will ever be written
The tear duct is the cradle of being
It must be true
Your tissue told me so

[Carl McCabe @CarlMcCabe8]

King Arthur
Sat back down
Scratched his head
Under the crown
He whispered
Thirty years
Hast taken your quest
Many trails have your undertaken
You return to us empty handed and forsaken
No cup of christ?
Yes sorry
she kept that
After taking
Lengthy
legal advice

Thanks for your wordsit everyday
I'll try and put some different words together today about

[Carl McCabe @CarlMcCabe8]

@brian_bilston My long term partner left me

[Carl McCabe @CarlMcCabe8]

I'm taking a different route today
Away from ones without answers
I walk weighed down by a blank sandwich board
The Wasteland narrated by Alec Guinness plays from a speaker on each shoulder
Bare forearms reveal a question mark tattoo on each
Well it is Tuesday
@brian_bilston

[Carl McCabe @CarlMcCabe8]

In reflection
enjoying a facsimile
cut price
kitkat shaped confection
I ponder
Would
I think there for I am
Today in an email
be filtered as
spam
Should
The Wasteland,
be considered wastepaper
And the lliad renamed
I'm on the way home
Won't be long
see you later

@brian_bilston
All the Royal palaces
since 1066
Were built using
millions of bricks
Inscribed
It is claimed
with all the tax
payers names
name

After a golden bathroom ablution
They stand and shout
Long live the revolution

Just for clarity
Are the royals
a registered
Charity

@jounwin
Did you know
If your quiet and still
sat in the living room
out of the reach of curtain half light
And don't smoke too much
In your father's wool suit
Not the funeral one
The other
That the moths can tickle your skin when they have eaten
All the way through the cloth

[Carl McCabe @CarlMcCabe8]

It's just decay management
That's what they should teach us
Looks kids
I can't lie
your all doomed
Run round
Laugh untill you can't anymore
Have a go at everyrhing
Hug each other more
And
Carry a pen at all times
Just in case

@brian_bilston Roll up exhaust swirls in the living room curtain half light
The leg of a tatty 90s double breasted suit nervously stamps
Grey goaty
Take away skin
Jimmy Nail sits
On a carpet of torn Melody Makers
one crocodile shoe on
Gritted teeth
Repeating
Chris Rea
