HEARTPUMPS

are
you

dragging it out 
in a botox blank
of long lunches
&
lively lies

or hanging on 
for weds rollover lottery draw

pushing & pushing 
the wall away

~

are you

in
a
weird rush
to
bury your heartpumps 
  under
  that
  new
  laid
  plastic turf

your head down 
get it done & dusted

live - check
 die - check

get it done & dusted

eulogise me already
& scatter me
where i said

~

even polyester flowers fade 
on the whiteline laminate graves

&
our aftermath 
is personal kipple
suddenly anonymous

&
sluggishly dispersed
in
a
strange upbeat cleansing 
emotional
social 
chore
