Pinball

All locations are a solace
Co-ordinates and frontiers
Free me from self expression.
Apprehension of the senses
The illusion of conquest
Please make an exception.

Pinball passes the time away
From the memories we share,
Categorising and simplifying.
You’d think we’d have so much more to say
With the memories that we share,
Stultifying and agonising.

All vocations are a menace
It had you penned but you let it
Gathering splinters climbing fences.
Your belongings way you down
But it hurt when you sold them
A cold cash conversion.

Pinball passes the time away
From the memories that we share,
Categorising and simplifying.
You’d think we’d have so much more to say
With the memories that we share,
Stultifying and agonising.
