You know when you are really truly lonely

when you haven’t even got any enemies

when your GP says only to go  there once a week

and so does the priest after hearing your fifth confession today

and you can’t go to A and E  as it’s closed down

and you help all old people blind or not across roads

and you go  to the dentist once a month even though you are broke and have only two teeth

and your mouth has dried up so you can’t speak

and your phone is dusty

and your cat died but you had her stuffed

and you have paranoia because the world loves you

and you pray hourly

and you only dream of deserts
