On tiredness

I'm so tired


I'm so tired of filmspeak

            And of ‘problematic’ and ‘why it works’ and capslock titles

I'm so tired of Twitter

            And the over-saturation of Opinion

            And self-importance

            And Twitter comedians whose jokes block out the sun

I'm so tired of the gender debate

            And of bland busybodies who think articles can ever be a tipping point

            And the mis-use of ‘troll’

            And people going on about Blurred Lines like it's the worst thing.

I'm so tired of alcohol culture

            And recriminations

I'm so tired of Cambridge comedians

I'm so tired of my security blanket being a smarter financial choice than going it alone

I'm so tired of feeling impotent anger

            And seeing political apathy amongst my peers

[REDACTED]


The football’s still pretty good, though.
