The Cost of Living

 

Is an interesting phrase. What happens when you can’t afford to live?

When is check out time?

Not another list of questions.

A life that incurs debt the sinking weight.

No benefit cuts here today. More books please. 

In debt and in life.

Smiles forever.

Ashes sin and longing.

Jump onto the pyre let the vultures descend.

Escape route to the astral plain.

Meet Sun-Ra along the way, he says hi.

From his cosmic contraption burning up fumes of purple smoke.

Orbiting the east London waste lands that still exist.

Cheer up everybody he says in his curious way.

Metaphysical harmony is the order of the day.

Not right or wrong just now.

Atoms breathe.

Sun rise in outer space.
