because out of the ground flowers were
sticking treated sewerage discharged
into a cave on the beach not quite believing
the game but playing anyway pre-firework
drinks went with listless parasite laced with
rage indicated an issue with tracking software
stop can be a fun place all the events that
went into making swathes of bright corrosive
explosions knock yourself out of bed remix
various compulsion strains complicate the goings
on yellow three times then red blue grey stray
incident sowed confusion a breakdown never
broke construct activate cripplex was hanging
fast with fast king looking well deactivate
off the pace background mistakes creeping
misinterpret amongst tight-ass cattle
she was Crucial Moment Unrecognized
malfunction face low submerged by
moonlit calm water
can't believe it but keeplayingames within spitting
distance of striking removed illegal net from
protected wreck locked myself part recollection
part reflex ten random digits embedded in the brain
if one random digit should theoretically swell. crossfire
background shrieking alphabet high arousal red splotch low
arousal blue whorl whim against vigour so drove straight
into shimmering image. churning out the same neo-gothic
claptrap nowadays mixing readymade elements approaching
visitors kept at distance ta green black lawn blighted
accordingly unreconciled might yet fall into place. you interned
for a shit of this parish flogging metaphors round the barrett
towns pandering each pathetic market whim an alien-without-
a-flag-sold well but what a joke the age of gold became daddy
meritocracy knew his own whilst skint you smoked
in the parks on rest days scoring blow off chavs you
still knew from school for all my achievements
i would like to thank
ricochet.
