The inspired market token rose sharply,
halted by a Robinhood, deposits of currencies,
the price of power temporarily trading conditions.

Sealed off and rallied, capital detained
protesters of the opposition return a poisoning
counted among the demanded, jailed the leader.

The developer unreasonably precedents,
cheaters deciding what constitutes,

Debut Threat Jacket

Cosy navy beanie with a huge to win a host of prizes, top floor.
Previous documents fluttering down from the sky made virtual.
It therefore feels form. Therefore, bombarded parliament, astonished.

A superpower slipped into anarchy
Systemic prejudice and social justice. And social justice.
Challenging the noisy world.

There are books that are a tank scored direct
Russia, UK, Ireland; 1990s after the collapse of the 39, appeared to be speaking

Shortage of Warning

Traces of untold tales linger in the margin
As the nation’s quiet advance continues
Along the road to devolution.

Of sleepy pomp and banal unionism
We sing to find an erstwhile period,
Overwritten by today’s largely illegible culture.

Questions flood the political surface
Under the curling wallpaper,
Fading vigorously into a yellow warning.

This Severe Moon

Full moon drawing power,
Watchful guide across the spectral planes,
Never settling, rarely trusting, clearly loving.

Forgot the respite of communities,
Never fit in.

Reimagine the old days!
Look forward to another bright night,
Revel in music, play, a love letter - another person.

forward missiles clawed the sky.

Shot Defends Protestors

It was like Armageddon,
Dreams of the Pentagon, nuclear winter
