Fake it till you make it with that tan
you didn’t have yesterday
Making all the fake news
spraying it across the media
between adverts for platform trainers
that you can’t run in
unless it’s in an election
Where there are only two clowns
you can 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 just all head to the ocean
and feel the spray
for real.
