We’re over this quarter
and don’t know why
inspection reveals
an over estimation
on advice lines

that sent us over
over asking advice about
increasing our resilience to advice.

Piss off, said one, you idiot
spawning advice from a call centre
in Mumbai, like he’d know.

Trouble is, by the time the lights go out
we’ll have forgotten how to use a pen.

In Dharavi they’re smiling

Pen, pen!

we had pens
