I loved this poem it felt like a time-lapse movie... great art is when the words can be seen and the pictures can be read.. and you're words are definitely vividly seen !

Another enthralling write Richard! Captivating to say the least!

[Ana B.]

This reminded me of the movie ''Gattaca'', a profound write Richard.

My word Richard. That was a whirlwind tale reminiscent of Ray Davies (The Kinks). It really captures the reader in the turnstile of modern life and spins them til they come out at the end going - pheww *wipes brow*
A new job often means extra disposable income but employees are viewed as disposable people.

Too true. Grinding us up and spitting us out.
