RAGING DOWNTOWN

i go 

back in

like i was
never out

such is the shitstorm
raging downtown

~

& all my shopping baskets online
are filled with whimsy treats

my emails
beg me
to buy

DIAMOND MINE 1

every
breath
was
an
act
of
faith . . . then

           Science 
           Named 
           The 
           Invisible

so heaven - 

why not 
    why not 
        why not ?

all
fingers 
crossed
here

in the fracking dust
on the shopping berm
all of us blind
in the
diamond mine

CAPITALISM POP

shopping
is
a
drug
and
a
liar

a dark gene

kick it
with
window shopped wishlists 
or
sate it with charity

we got all we want
unused
in
guilt
cupboards

UNADVERTISED EYES

look around 
with green 
advertised 
eyes

see
all the shiny things
and
think
you need them

on ebay
tv
the fickle city streets
of
hipsters
cool drunks
accidents
and
moving billboards

shoes and hats 
and trousers just like that

or
look with unadvertised eyes
in your cupboards
and
life
and all you crave sits there already
underused
and
you
can
be done
with shopping
