We Are a Healthy Culture

The need for blood donations rises

as holiday weekend approaches.

– news tickertape, CityTV

A dish. A real dish, a deep dish.

Even the gormless simps and intellectual gaps surround her

with husky voices that get them places. Damn the normal

and its constant surprises. There is that face again and you

just can’t pin the name. People do run into one another.

Between my vodka sodas I’ll eat the ice. Time

is faster than God. And more painful. I

would like to remain forgotten. Thanks.

Christ, that’s what I need, long-suffering

athleticism and confidence to creep

in like a voice-over on the late show.

The one beside her with the bitten lip, hard as nails,

ordering another neat, she’s looking this way.

Death is transparent. It gets in your underwear.

I’m B negative. Not a rare type.

Today wears fashionable clothing, trying hard

to innovate its minutes. Displays of disinterestedness,

shared lethargies – there are robots, literally,

on the television.
