Since nothing matters,
losscitymusicmortality
Since nothing matters,
Opinions are two a penny
Plucked
Out of thin air
Every single one
A rich vein
Of righteous indignation
The answers capitalised
Exclamation marks
Are the loudest
Louder than you think
Punctuated
The creak of rusty springs
On a dead man’s bed !!!
A primal scream
The final cut
The closing of the cell door
Too many prisoners
Wait in the dark
For permission
To speak
Words are not
Obligatory
They are shadows
Of meaning
Which is more than
Just gilding
Lilies are best left
On the coffin lid
They brook no
Argument
Mumbles is a fishing village
In Wales
I never heard a bad word
About it
Whisper it
As you will,
Barely audible
Without emphasis
Or a full stop
Every point I make
Is of equal value.
