Floating like a dance on oily water
Greasing sweat on an elected head
Vapour removed by machine
Applied to the armpits instead
Sense regurgitated
by a dream
Of flowing times
Echoing nothing
But money
You never saw
Never knew
Never paid

Dancing words to your ears
Bypassing your brain
They anchored in your pocked
And left your brain alone

Soundbites
Float across your eyes
Ricocheting
Are we all home alone

Control freaks at every door
The Komissar demands
The milk is late this morning
When is this in hand
I didn’t sign up for this

I signed for the Promised Land
