Dumb Terminal - Simon Bookish

I’m moved

It’s more than a change of address, this town is sinking slowly

I’ve moved, and you’ve moved, too

It’s neither tectonic plates nor the pull of the moon

It’s cruel

You must swim in the sea

Because you can’t use the plane to come here to see me

You’ll need goose fat and goggles

Who built this dumb terminal?

We’ve moved

Like a slide down smooth into a mess of our own making

Is it true?

We shouldn’t second-guess

I’ve moved

And you’ve moved through

From being tiny, careless consumer to something serious

ADHERE NOW SEPERATE

Men and women sinking slowly
