Eve and her apple

Eve didn’t eat the apple, she took a photo on it. 

God is an eye in the sky brought to you by ‘I spy’
God’s a satellite, his angels are algorithmes 
Facial recognition be his cameras

He’s watching he’s watching -watch out -you’re watched every day same time. 

No need to pray, just connect and pay

The good die their data goes to heaven 
The bad die their data goes public - full on , no holds barred full frontal public shaming. 
God is meek but hates the weak, protects the strong, the slick and the sleek.

Arrivals

Stood at ‘arrivals’ - sliding doors, 
a constant stream of suitcase and tans, 
dazed overnighters, long distance backpacks, 
Grey men grey suits with laptop trollies,
Family re-unions, on-line lovers, 
drivers with names on cards, 
sportsmen, fans, 
secretive 'anons' with big sunglasses, 
Tears,fears, longing, sad, overjoyed, 
Eyes watching the eta board, well bored.
Funny hat and matching t-shirt tourists.
Headphone zombies,
Far off cultures looking dazed,
The young ‘omg’ looking ‘amazed’. 


Arrivals, 
overpriced coffee for the ones that play the waiting game.
Mums and Dads taxi Ltd
Friends and lovers clock watching, 
adjusting appearance, clutching flowers .
Smart phone watchers,
Arrived,
hugs and kisses
tears and laughter
“let’s talk after”
nods and winks, stares.
Welcomed, wasted, refused, illegal, sent back. 

Fun and games in the arrival zone.
