The field was full, said Spicer
The NHS is broken
The Holocaust was fake news
The world is not warming
(And I never touched that woman)
Wealth trickles down
Poverty is the direct consequence of indolence
Ignore those pinko academics,
for I have alternative facts
from the University of Google
Conspiracy is the spice of digital life
This toxicity resists all known antibiotics
It seems that even silicon
Can fester
I did not say what you heard me say
And should you contradict
Future truth will land only in the laps
Of some other network
Reality is inside the human skull said O’Brian
It has no external dimension
With a dismissive flick of my hand
I remake the laws of nature
1984
And more.
this fragile tent 
A splendid, though chilling, depiction of the world we are in, Chris!
(Hope you are well and doing what you really enjoy…)
All the best,
Chin
Chilling indeed Chin! I am indeed well thanks, and very much enjoying a different life- hope the same is true for you too? Next time you visit the wild west, it would be great to meet up?
Yes, Chris, I am doing a lot of (short story) writing, but am also dabbling in poetry from time to time. We have moved to Edinburgh and so have not been to Kilmun as often as we did in the past. It’d be great to meet up with you for a coffee when we do go there.
