A new set of mantras
As morning greyly breaks
Eliminate and extricate
All the things within you
Like a probiotic breakfast yoghurt
If it doesn’t kill you
it’ll make you better
creating Ritalin level speeded up versions
of yourself – like the advert told her
No instead eat the porridge
Long term investment burns longer.
Take a deep breath in. Take one for the team
Think of nothing but the blue wall. Think of England
Together we can win
Anxiety Edge
Wear a veil of secrets not a cover of lies
Its better to be patient than talk and be despised
If you wait for your moment
When you can confess silence
That will be okay.
And now no-ones talking
No one says a thing
As Tumbletree trundles in
Resembling something from
The school gym
changing room bin
That we were forced to wear
A smell leaks
They keep their distance
Mindfully of delusional stories
They eat close to their lips carefully
And no one knew anything
When he looked in their direction
Crumbs of conversation falling out of their mouths
Morning Halls Penitentiary
8 o clock walking circles through repeating white doors
push pulling the body over each one an obstacle.
8 laps.
Giving up.
Waiting.
Walking into rooms with sleeping people in it.
Rolling out again.
Coughing fluff.
Following guiding lines across the hue ceiling.
Eyes wandering where the fire exit could be.
