In `28 the suicide era peaked.
I rebelled eating carrots and quorn.
Screams came from the first on the scene.
The participants all oh so quiet.
Public spectaculars changed commuting
as men in suits, cut short the journey,
with lamppost hangings and eastbound
drivers heading west.
The carriers took the bodies
from car wrecks and classrooms,
nightclubs and dining rooms,
to cemeteries and services, where people on pews
would carry pistols.
Burials would often mean two or three fresh bodies
atop the box as it sank.
An on trend vicar once opened his veins
between the ashes and the ashes.
A mother on the ten o'clock news declared this fashion
"Sick".
Before genuflecting
and sticking her neck.

If you hadn't lost some body, you were nobody.
I began to eat full fat milk
and walk in the woods alone.
In May as the grass began to grow
I found my neighbour planted.
The weather man said a depression was approaching
amidst his Hari Kari.

Come the decade's end
it all became so `20s.
Nobody would be seen dead
by their own hand.
Long term tortured illness, now,
de rigeur.

This feels more futuristic to me Jerry.

If I'm that lucky, I should buy a lotto ticket this weekend...

What's with 'eating' full fat milk?
