Bartering for time
In the photograph nothing changes
it’s what separates images from reality
and laughter from tears
Sometimes it gets ugly inside
‘a winter of discontent’ if you will
but you must face it head on
repeating mantras & bad daydreams
knowing full well the latest malaise
will somehow pass
undetected
Nobody knows you anymore
and you’re perfectly fine with that
working in the underground
chipping away by
rewriting history
