taking the piss out of us

Ed

I flip it over 

like a pancake 

apart from nowadays kids don't make pancakes

they just pour mixture from a polymer bottle into the pan 

and wash it down with 5 coke cans 

The black screen flashes white and the thick, elegant computerised words 'LENOVO' pop up 

Well at least I think they are elegant, but who does elegance nowadays anyway 

Trackies n Trainers, there is no point in table manners and everything is just a meaningless social construct?

I am at the edge of my seat eager to begin 

Begin "living"

because after all, disconnection is connection

is it not?

Guess what I know more about Kim K's buttocks then I do my own city 

Children looking at books as if they were brussel sprouts

Libraries having to diversify into children playgroups and caf�s

because the literate sit with their mouths open ready to be spoon fed

I buy my chicken, my socks and my partner online 

Why go out when you can order in!

you can have dinner with your 2000 friends in your bathroom if you wished

Just eat, deliveroo one click and you got it 

if you want to go to heaven just text 'ETHIOPIA200' to 746574 

if you are under 18 please ask the bill payer's permission 

Roll up to school late, call my teacher by their first name 

Went to the theatre thought I was at the gym
