angst cycle (iii)
[θ] (iv)

so really
i’ve got this choice
i’m getting creaky

my ability to pay my taxes
which are somewhat more
that what i earn
is reducing

i want to create
i need to create
but
i like to breathe

it’s only
what
14 cents per mouthful
air
fairly cheap
so i’m told
i can’t argue
i’m no
dead–for–200–years
man

do i try & struggle through
white age
or do i donate my body
to nutrition recycling

carry on as memory
fucking hacked off
with me
memory

the ripples
after a stone
is thrown
in a black pond

no choice
it is
