Life At Different Speeds

For the old time slows time down,
the future goes on 'hold';
you can sense it in their stillness.
That sense of  slowness
should be a natural part of every community,
rather than them being hived off into 'care homes'
where their health is slowly frozen for further profit.

Care homes are luxury workhouses;
the occupants do not escape alive-
their 'care' squeezes life
too thin to be measured.
