Singular (Inspiration Point)

Singular (Inspiration Point) (7th November, 2008, 1.15pm)

Single.
Tick the box, choose a job, choose life…
it’s not always a choice, you know!

I swear at the page;
the screen lies, poised
to go for the jugular;

have you been facebooked yet?
Nineteen comments on my
lack of a partner;
it was only an edit, nothing has
altered, much.

Pride sneers.

They should brand us, really;
coin me a new word, please!
Here, I’ll mint one:

Singular.

No, not like Bridget-sodding-Jones;
it weighs more than a ton
on my shoudlerblades, folks!

I am singular.
I like being singular.
There’s less washing-up.
