Biscuits

Biscuits
It will take time to adjust to this new reality
There will be good days and bad days on the way
Along with other pre-discerned times unmentionable
Where life will be Mad Max esque and totally lawless
What will I do at such times and what will life do to me?
Tea and biscuits with pals or robbing banks with sawn offs?
Or both...

nicely open-ended with plenty of opportunities for personal interpretation. Almost feels like the opener to something longer - the promise of more to come with a sci-fi twist perhaps? Tea and biscuits before or after the bank robbery? I'll have mine after as a reward please - assuming all goes to plan . . . Cheers, Col.
