Danger; Normality At Work

Most of us seem normal
to others who don't know us.

If we remain that way
after saying we know each other 
and being friends
then how we are known 
should be reason for worry.

Living By One-Sided Communications

where the main condition with what we are offered
is disguised disengagement, then we should expect 
diminishing returns for our efforts to connect
 when the disguises fall away.

Second Hand Futures

are not so much out of date fashions
and rejected ideas for living
as what happens when old trends
get retrospectively reappraised,
and refurbished, to become the new style.
