Fake it till you make it
with that tan you didn’t have yesterday
making all the fake news
and spraying it across the media
in between adverts for platform trainers
that you can’t run in
unless it’s in an election
where there are only two clowns to vote for
who make each other look good
yet no one is laughing.
Someone call the cops
in the middle of the night
and stop the circus
before the big top comes crashing down
or let’s all head to the ocean
and feel the spray for real.
