We don’t watch the hunger and squid and games, Dad,

The live-streamed ones in Gaza are better,

They are the real thing; well sick and well bad,

and the Elbit fat cats are getting fatter.

Ghost Towns

Somewhere off the data highway

Quite close to router sixty-six

There lies a ghost town of splintered glass

A graveyard of useless stones and bricks

This is where the glitterati lived

They used to come in rumbling hoards

Stumbling through automatic doors

they walked the aisles of shiny floors

Nothing there now but skeletal racks

Dust settled ...
