Modern-Lonely

There is no love left on these premises overnight
You are not being watched on CCTV
And there’s no need to read the small print
Because no one cares about your terms or your condition.
Mind the gap between your life and everyone else’s
Stand behind the yellow line of separation
And be mindful of height restrictions —
They wouldn’t want you getting above your station.
Oh, and don’t stop buying those ‘serves 2-3’ ready meals
That way people will never guess you’re on your own
And modern lonely
