Plan B
now open your eyes like a discussion
see the sky red like a trumpet solo
pick up your phone like you’ve met it in a bar
push the buttons like political agendas
press the receiver to your temple like a gun
choose words like they’re careers for life
make promises like lucky escapes in films
announce decisions like weather after the news
fix walls with your stare like they’re broken
and act like nothing happened nothing happened nothing happened

I really like this one, so much ambiguity, some revelationa at the end but still ambiguity. The second line is annoying in that I cant conceive anything of it though, the rest I can with a bit of thought. Its a short piece but it takes a long time. Cool!
