3 Poems

Daniel Ridley

people in trouble



imagine thinking that
life increases appetites.

these offline strategies
are purely informative
glares with unlimited doubt.

indolent while the last purchase,
in a lush adumbration,
shoots for free at earthworks.

everybody happens to everybody, prosecco.

sounds the worst evening over reality.

modernity & vulgarity

most of the time is passing the time.

if i can give you an example,
reality television star gif.

even though the website is shit,
send me a password reset email and cc me in to

the head of content strategy
who made us up after
a bad night's sleep.

body goals and
some good energy
is all i require for

my no interval complaint
graduating the air.

replies to all staffers

now our grave is contained on
the burner phone at the bottom of the sea,

repetitions lack means.
so rota fortunate

< no limits to experience >

iā€™m carrying a head
to a club death

with some words from the lost texts

sagging in realtime analytics,
night long
in negative rooms.
