August 24th Milk, Milk, Lemonade
time comes
when you gotta decide
you do need milk
fresh milk
but do you really
need that milk?
is it worth
the risk
of 2 hard weeks
inside
which supermarket
rocks
the least amount of risk?
where do the
unvaxxed, unmasked, FREEDOM-fucking, conspiracist scum
prefer to shop?
and at what time?
should I perhaps
reconsider
black tea
lactose-free
and as for Lurpac…
seriously?
online butter, eggs
and Nurofen
is that the ticket?
or is that supermarket
hard by the funfair testing site
the best one for me?
do they shop before they test
or on the way out?
convenience shopping
takes on a whole new brand
I do need milk
and I will
bravely go
and wash my hands
and head towards the QR code
and trolley wipes
masked up and double-vaxxed
and fingers crossed
the virus is not crouched
amongst the dips and chips
and Cherry Ripes.
