Alchemisland

In order to feel useful I have to work

Since when must idleness feel deserved

You can’t spend forty days in the desert or Costa will be short a server

If the operation was available today, I would willingly be severed

Anything to give Focused Me leverage

Over Free Me, about as attentive as a fresh leveret

Insurance forms, feedback forms, TPS reports delivered

That’s a hard week done, earned this Chinese delivered

That’s a hard week done, let me get fucked on rum; de-livered deliberately

Swallowing free samples liberally, taking company missives literally

In every office I’m their libertine

Preaching freedom from the greedy machine

In every orifice storing extra gusto and will to win

Sinning and slacking at every available window

Cunts like me always win, though

Feet lander, go whatever way the wind blows, like Dylan showed

When time comes for it, UBI will have my vote

I’m treading water like the last boat Homer listed

The only one fateful Athena never kissed; the only one Boreas never lifted

In my own life adrift, I was cutting down strife when my sails ripped

I boxed the leader of international sales and burst his lip

I need a cause, maybe save the whales, or Palestinian lib

Everyone around me smashing sales records

Glengarry style ruthless greedgood predators

Meanwhile, I’m having to wear masks buying bread to dissuade creditors

My only lead the one I kneel to clip onto my dog when he pees

Clouds and dreaming, get your head out and start scheming

Show them your engine is full of speedful steam

Show them that early 30s men can still be reavers

Last night, penile exercise with a bereaved woman named Tina

Her husband left prematurely, like shot-scared scattered brent geese

Taking to the air. She’s finally putting back the pieces

Grief is disease and her cure is Jesus, she calls him her Keeper

In the morning I had to leave, had to deceive

Stick all my points into sneak and flee

Price of freedom for me, some have to get cheesed

Slip going out the back and graze one knee

I can see it’s bleeding but I barely feel it

Work is supposed to give me the desired reasons

Why I shouldn’t wear my belt as a tie and leave.
