Be Mine

I'll say that I'm eternally yours
(as I scan through the contract for a get out clause)

The Confiteor

I see the logic in confessional booths
Being not face to face
and expressing your thoughts
with suitable lack of eye contact

Due to my lack of Catholicism
I find car journeys provide a similar service

Mutually Incompatible

A war of church and commerce
Will soon be underway
As Lent abstinence begins
Before chocolate-fuelled Valentine's Day

Façade

So sell them a lifestyle
Cast your glitter
Amaze them
Make them believe everything you show them is real
Astonish them
Make them covet
Dumbfound them
(Hide your demons and don’t show how you feel)
