Fractal

Are you one of these people who are less than they present to the world or more?

I am sick of this snippering, simpering cultural web that draws us close with shared references and not much more
Sick of the flicker of gas fires and the cool light they cast on our stricken faces
Sick of competing like trained dogs for the favours of our masters
Sick of women with tight smiles and their throw away lines that swim clear in the water and once swallowed tie up our guts
Tired of the horded detritus that we adorn our lives with to look cool
Cool, that we subjugate our desperate selves to
Cool that we make a pact to service
