STRAIGHT AND SHALLOW SHEEP



she wears torn tights
under cut-off denim
  so
she must
  be 
off to Forbidden Planet 
to find some comic book no ones heard of
  or

we've
heard
  of
  it 
but she was there before
    at
      the
        beginning
        when
        IT MATTERED - see ?  look at my tights !
 

hes
got a super skinny suit on
  looks like he couldnt 
  bend down 
  to pick up
  a dropped iphone
he must want to get into club night promotion
  altho
    he's
      stuck in Tiger Tiger by the gig room
          for
          now

  and
  all
  the
half-shaved thick-mops towering dramatic
  over
wild full beards and pastel shorts -
  the
  dapper
  mountain
  men
who've only ever climbed Primrose Hill
  must be ...

  must be ...

  well 
  maybe ... organic steampunk IT farmers ?

we play distraction o clock
  in
leopard onesies driving BMWs across the sink estate dusk
  or
striding ubertoss on gentrified boroughs graffiti'd cement
  on
  kids scooters
  or
  roller blades 
  wondering
          how 
            far
              back
                does
                  RETRO
                    live ?    
  and
stealing
  nerds
classic accidental tucked-in mum-bought look
  and
  selling
  it
  in labels
  to
straight and shallow sheep
  feet
    pointy
      like
        clowns
 

  too - 
  norm-core falls from some jaded journalists head
cos
obviously
all
we
are
is 
  cat walk dollies
even
when 
we're 
not
  cat walk dollies - 
      like 
      theres 
      no 
      more 
      pressing problems 
        than
          wardobes
            and
              mirrors
            for
          earths
        premier
      cutlery 
    monkeys
  busy
bombing their lives into the sick nuclear sea
