a cure to loneliness

I get so lonely 

when I'm on my own 

that I pretend 

to talk on the phone.



My loneliness 

is well concealed 

by various 

fake business deals.



Selling high 

and buying low, 

no one's on the phone, 

but they'll never know.



They say, "look 

at that important guy

in a pod, on his own 

on the London Eye."



"Watch him shout 

with a phone to his ear. 

I bet he has 

a fantastic career."



I scream, "I told you once 

and I'll tell you again, 

I will not be a host 

on Dragon's Den!"



inpressing all of pret 

while i’m shouting in line 

I walk out in shame 

when my card gets declined.
