sometimes you just have to laugh
at the guy’s loud music on the tube
people not walking in straight lines
everyone’s phones in their palms
and palms in their face.
just swipe the card and walk through
now there’s a pile up of tuts
How efficient is self service
if you need approval to transact?
crumbs cover the kitchen floor
we rarely get to finish a sentence
there’s no weekend rest for builders
and the neighbours love to slam.
rolling around in new trainers
shivers hold off thermostat cranks
superstitious quiz show hosts myth
as oven trays rattle and hiss.
