Probably

No noose is good noose

Probably

Think a lot of things

Never thought that one

One bigger one smaller

Probably

Learn your way out

Someone else’ll know

Probably

Now
Make yourself at home
Remember it’s a share house
Round house ground house

Definitely

Others may get sick
You yourself get ill
Summers get their chill
Others force their will

Definitely

Every time is all time
Time is a commodity
A resource
An evil twin
A shadow
A home
A prison
An adjective
A bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Understandably

I’m scared
Are these friends of yours?
It hurts me she said
She was hurt
It was
It is
Is this it?
Is that it?

Will I see you the next day?
Concern is traded for moral
Thought is traded for thin rumours
No kidding

You know people like that?
People kill
People rise
People eat moss to survive
People love
Share
Give without needing

Systematic

Systems devour entire planets in the span of universal fly flatulence
Below the astro-boyed belt
Shoots lasers out of his artmostfeared
Of
Hate

More or less
Moral-less
Moral candy cane
Get you on your feet again

Prosperity

Paw poor
We tell the TV
I’m sick of the war
We kill our TV
Bore ourselves raw
Just blame your MP

Foreignity

It seems like a word
It looks like some colours
It reacts like you and me when stabbed in the eyes

Shame that
If only we could make them more different
Then we could hate them easier
And us
Don’t forget us
We must hate us
Or otherwise this war’s war wouldn’t be worth it would it?

Damn you TV
You make me bad
Make me cry
But wait a minutellenium
Everything
On
TV
Is a lie, alive.
