down here in the dead ideas office
we mark all your thoughts as read
don’t be alarm’d it’s just routine
most people’s are a waste of space
& friday’s pay day so we slack off
just a bit (long enough for a wink
long enough for you to emote a hit
or a telepathic experience of ‘snow
inside a glass jar’ thinking (o tack
for th’ emergency radiohead anorak
only forty quid & left here today
by someone who refused to give
their number or even leave a name
which was a pity as you’ll probably
be needing something big & yellow
to hide your big empty head under!
hooray, no spam here! (tho notions
that’ve been here more than thirty
days will be automatically deleted
then marked as dead all over again
