Fitter, happier, more productive,
comfortable,
not drinking too much,
regular exercise at the gym
3 days a week,
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries ,
at ease,
eating well
no more microwave dinners and saturated fats,
a patient better driver,
a safer car
baby smiling in back seat)
sleeping well
no bad dreams,
no paranoia,
careful to all animals
never washing spiders down the plughole,
keep in contact with old friends
enjoy a drink now and then.
will frequently check credit at
moral bank hole in the wall,
favors for favors,
fond but not in love,
charity standing orders,
on Sundays ring road supermarket
no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants,
car wash
also on Sundays,
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
nothing so childish - at a better pace,
slower and more calculated,
no chance of escape,
now self-employed,
concerned but powerless,
an empowered and informed member of society
pragmatism not idealism,
will not cry in public,
less chance of illness,
tires that grip in the wet
shot of baby strapped in back seat,
a good memory,
still cries at a good film,
still kisses with saliva,
no longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick,
that's driven into
frozen winter shit
the ability to laugh at weakness,
calm,
fitter,
healthier and more productive
a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics.
