Update - A Solution At Last!
As my readers will know, a fire broke out on the floor above my flat on Sunday 6 March, causing vast structural damage. As a result, I had to leave my flat due to safety and I found myself homeless.
Although I wasn’t present at the time of the fire and was later able to retrieve my belongings, I felt unable to cope with the prospect of ongoing displacement, especially as London rents have risen sharply over the past few years and finding alternative accommodation proved almost impossible.
I spent nearly eight weeks in hotels, struggling with acute panic attacks. During...

Going out
I sat alone at the table waited on by a lab technician in a hazmat suit.
The kind of situation that would seem normal
if I was ordering weapons-grade uranium to-go.
His muffled voice could barely cut through the triple layered protection
designed to keep him immune to even the wrath of god.
A few awkward chuckles and invisible faux-smiles later he was on his way
to the reactor to retrieve my lunch.
I notice the only other person bold enough to brave the new world
like me a few tables to my right.
His gaze is sharp and full of intent....

Covid-19
Wash your hands,
wear a mask,
stay apart.
Lockdown starts,
cases fall,
lockdown ends.
Live your life,
but there's no
going back.
wear a mask,
stay apart.
Lockdown starts,
cases fall,
lockdown ends.
Live your life,
but there's no
going back.

Well, It got me guys. I'm absolutely losing my mind in this damn room of mine, and I go for my IV infusions at the hospital on monday. I'm hoping this is over and done with pretty soon.

The 2020 Chip Down Blues
The torture tune of trauma town
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.
Rings in my midnight ear
To say to me when chips are down
All merriment will disappear...
When introverts, not the warrior,
Will be the ones that thrive
When city streets get gorier
As intubations survive...
More so than those who shriek and shout
In a rally or ugly crowd
With an unwitting spittle spout
Ever and anon too proud...
Since salvation comes, as you will see,
Packaged in humility.
