Listorama: Facebook status updates vol 31

What's on your mind?

toobusytoobusytoobusytoobusytoobusy – toobusy

is dancing like something or other


Might as well give up on this


has nothing to rebel against


Maybe yes, maybe no


is trying to put a napkin on a tiger


Any bets on ‘Prince Rogers Nelson’?


Is this what you call change?


My word, my word is ‘word’


is a local hero


Dot dash dot dash dot dash


Sleeping, waking, whatevering


is a lamb in a sea of sharks

has forgotten his watch again

Having enough time is a theory, isn’t it?


[you can fill this bit in for me today]


is a croakie oakie


will be passing through Acton for the first time in eons


Munch? Or brunch?


has another nail in his heart


is inside the moral kiosk again


Hedge fund holiday


is waiting to start


Highways not byways


needs the services of a phrenologist


Work is as work does


would like to be remembered as a modal shift in communications


appears to have run out of words already


The days, they slip away


is a neo-imperialist plot impinging on your sovereignty


has forgotten his watch


is fraying


Where’d the light go?


is a disused zone


is Plasticus Masticus, the world’s first 3D printed superhero


The cities are here for you to use


is waiting for his software update


Back to it


Greetings from Paris


Thursday’s child is full of rhyme


Sickbed bulletin: sleep


has recovered in time for the working week


is a new found sincerity


Ah the ol’ ‘awake before an early alarm’ gag


I remind the poets: never apologise, never explain


The travails of a flaneur


Cough cough


Trying to hit the high notes like Bernard Sumner

I know, I know, this place is almost moribund now. Anyway, here is a piece of tumbleweed for you: a review of the sparkling 'Bottled Air' by Caleb Klaces over at Poejazzi.
