There Is No Way…

June 9, 2015 2 Comments

There Is No Way…

I’m ever going home.

No way.

Stolen laptops.

Drugs. Kids on speed.

Hang on. I’ll switch off speakerphone.

I SAID THERE’S NO WAY…

Sorry, I thought you hadn’t heard.

It’s all useless.

Sick of the drink the dogs the cops.

No one paying attention.

Dad’s fucking that blonde girl again.

Telly’s broken. Washing machine on the blink.

She plays XBox for entire afternoons.

Wish she’d knob off.

Got me nails done. Peachy orange.

The sun’s been proper nice. Getting a tan.

Get paid next week. On Friday.

What was that?

Dead?

Hang on I ain’t got no change for the bus.
