the nu-normalzzzzzzz … ( … zzzzzzzlamorn-un eht )

…

 

listen to the snooze

& shat y’ padded pants

 

wipe y’ backside

with stockpiled bog roll

 

bang on pans ‘n’ pots

like a toddler on drums

 

live online

& shun the sun’s shine

 

eat baked beans

with y’ fingers from the tin

 

flea outdoors

& face the town’s clown frown

 

support y’ local shop

& the latest global race war

 

or you’re a wrong’un

soon to be erased

 

keep two metres

like chevrons on the m1

 

sneeze with caution

– it’s pantomime season

 

wash them hands

or a dying nan dies

 

fight the phantom flight

like a bear swatting flies

 

wear a sterilised

yashmak on the bus

 

be a good robot

a prole with no soul

 

…
