Hypothesis 1

Isn’t everyone just doing their best to keep their shit

at bay, trying to prevent the darkness from entering the lungs?

Drink does a fairly good job for a while

pills work well and so the kind of people

who give you attention but let you off the hook when

it could get deep

sexy ones who stay the night

but leave early in the morning.

Non committal, exciting, selfish folks

who you mustn’t get to know too much…

it’ll spoil it.

But anyway, life is this and this is life and it ruins us all

and no-one comes out a winner

or a saint, or anything like that and everyone is dead on the ground

in some respect

and it all makes no difference in the end.
