PHOBOPHOBIA

It's fear of the flood

of fear that flows through me which

I fear most, by far.

 

MORE TELLTALE SIGNS

We say we're not apes

and yet it's the human race

which shat where it ate.

 

THE ULTIMATE DRUG

Yes, I'm an addict -

the withdrawals will kill me

if I don't eat food.

 

WIE!*

Nothing good can come

of our obsession with this:

it will eat us all.

 

JACKIE'S KISS

Tender was that kiss:

a light touch against my neck,

felt once and no more.

 

BOOM-BOOM

Just one heart, that's all

I ask of the world, to beat

in tandem with mine.

wrought by our own hand.

Nothing goes better

together than rum, good grass

and loud, heavy dub.

over a hilltop, pell-mell,

makes this noise: 'brexit!'

*WIE! = Worst Invention Ever! (The internet.)

** Brevi Manu = 'by one's own hand' (Latin)
