My landlord is not well
My landlord feels trapped
My landlord has anxiety
My landlord is out of his comfort zone

Private property is psychotic
Private property is neurotic

Eviction notice
Prick!

My landlord says
Having my human rights crossed will lead to my realization

My landlord says
I have 28 days to leave

Burnt myself on a slice of the pie
Weevils in the oatmeal
Don’t spit in the quinoa

No peace in luxury
No peace in the eco-friendly hot desk co-space
No peace under bad lighting choices

My landlord makes ethical purchases
My landlord feels bloated
My landlord doesn’t believe in power dynamics

Boil my piss
My life is in taters
Me mam, mashing taters

I am my own autonomous zone
This world is fucked but I’m not leaving
Peace in the trash, the only place you’ll find it.
