THE ADVENTURES OF CUCUMBER MAN: EPISODE #6

The Wipeout

Back to work. Back to banality.

By the author with AI

Wipeout, party over.
No prescription, hungover.

False weekend dreams.
Replaced with Microsoft Teams.

Persistent reality.
I.T. slavery isn’t bravery.

Wipeout

Late bus again, gotta talk to this stranger.
Emotionally flailing at Machiavellian danger.

Wipeout

No good at surfing, or was that serfing?

Broken reflections
In street scene inspections.

Say thank you to the bus driver.

My foot won’t walk straight. No one’ll notice.
Cold early morning, feeling all bogus.

Wipeout

Bank window, with disinterest.
Life’s endless debt inquest.

Basic courtesy
is now a KPI vertice.

Wipeout

Push through the rain, just like Tom Verlaine.
I’m here once again.
