we can remain hydrated for 1000 years

if advances in medical science bypass

the cat flap at some

stark skeletal juncture

on the scalextric.

beings dependent on the environment

will wither

murder notes

settling amongst the nettles

gathering fauna 

will sound

before achieving optimum

anorgasmic delinquency,

And we can all work together

for greater or for worse

to ensure that every household

has at least one packet of crackers

& one television

to see them through

the catacombs

of dejection.

The bindings were so taut

not even 20,000 years of evolution

could see them

unravel.  

Dab one another friend’s weeping reptilian sores

with lurid candy floss

pulled out of the seats of the sleeper

Real cool traders.

Everything’s existence is

silenced

in some way or other

through some set of constructs.

I saw one skeleton,

yay-high,

eating a tin of wire ravioli

under a tree

by a creak

in a church yard —  

and the beautiful thing is,

he was absolutely free.
