BRAINWASH By Lindsay McLeod<br />
A surgical sneeze against<br />
these outrageous borders<br />
of plastic apathy, a<br />
staggering helicopter course<br />
about the invisible helmet<br />
of my congested clone.<br />
And though the blade prevails<br />
in dancing repair of my<br />
patchwork hypocrisy, it<br />
reveals no tailored baby<br />
surfacing in moonlight<br />
but a punishing mass of<br />
struggling shrink wrapped<br />
malevolent exes<br />
in a mumbling trolley.<br />
The following man emerges<br />
anew in anxious envy to find<br />
with cemented certainty<br />
that a poor story deplores<br />
a mobile dream.<br />
Author bio: Lindsay McLeod trips over the horizon every morning. He has won some<br />
prizes and awards and stuff for poetry and short fiction and published his first coauthored<br />
poetry collection, My Almost Heart, in 2015. He currently writes on the sandy<br />
Southern edge of the world, where he watches the sea and the sky wrestle for supremacy<br />
at his letterbox. He prefers to support the underdog. It is presently an each way bet.
