What Happened.

Pseudo intellectuals tagged the streets,
high on the gas of late ‘90s alternative comedy DVDs from the bin-room.

New age pacifists dropped glock and bomb emojis 
to the hottest left-field misogynist rap.

‘The BOMB!’
‘Killer!’

Memes battled for the minds of a generation.
Two million smirks to save the earth.

Sharon called Tracey ‘a fat bitch’ on Facebook.
Nick wasn’t bothered.


It happened.


David walked into the sea.

Sue opened another bottle.

I wrote this in the early days of lockdown, it was initially a little longer but hadn’t aged well. Bizarre, the pace of events over the past few years, shit gets old quick.
