there's a genteel hum like a washing machine, wish wheel 
a previously-thought-impenetrable-impossible reel 
of real time live action happiness. 
like all the edges on the pictures from the cameras
have all been rounded, the sweat stink bubblegum;
the smiles on everyone's faces are 100% pure
i'll tell you the door to knock on's not even a door 
staying open 24/7 it's even got a cheerful Indian man at the counter
whose experienced prejudice sure because life is suffering 
but he know longer finds London stifling 
and his family's doing fine
he's got the money to buy mid-range wine
 and the kids are growing 
up fast enough to tell the time
 (from their parent's phone)
its the wishbone of a televised reality 
that we only cried we wouldn't reach because of too much T.V 
too much eat this and 
your fat city of green coats 
cancerous an encroach on abject privacy maybe she likes being choked
its her pagan naked laughing boyfriend. She wears fur coats but it's her 
naked body he's in love with. i don't doubt they make each other laugh:
living in a reality of bubblegum and the bedroom, 
and the doors open the whole day because the parents aren't home and 
we're all waking up to the reality that maybe life can be as good as it is in the movies. 
the maybe walking talking life living entrenchment that we're all going to die virgins of the property market
and paternity leave
can't stop us now 


Directly inspired by a Noah and the Whale song of the same name. The video is just gorgeous. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T08Eaf…
I've been avoiding posting half because i've only recently started writing something other than bad angry love poems 
and half because I don't believe anyone will actually want to read or like this. But you have before! So here's a thing. 
There will be other things. Hang on, and just enjoy the little things.
