Bitter Fingers

Here -

Where...bitter fingers rub endlessly into painted brick..

Where...teenage anger lasts long into retirement..

Where...happiness is solitary, forgotten and distant..

Where...closed shops remain open..

Where...failure becomes a habit..

Where...values are challenged and always disputed..

Where...machine winnings replace job prospects..

Where...harmony is seen between broken shop trolley, mid-summer puffa jacket and cannabis vape..

Where...sunday morning dead mans clutter waits for eager hands..

is the place language comes to die.
