late new resolution year

fitter
happier
more productive
comfortable
not drinking too much
regular exercise at the gym
3 days a week
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
at ease
eating well
no more microwave dinners and saturated fats
a patient better driver
a safer car
sleeping well
no bad dreams
no paranoia
careful to all animals
never washing spiders down the plughole
keep in contact with old friends
enjoy a drink now and then
will frequently check credit at bank
favors for favors
fond but not in love
charity standing orders
on Sundays ring road supermarket
no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants
car wash
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
nothing so childish
at a better pace
slower and more calculated
no chance of escape
now self-employed
concerned but powerless
an empowered and informed member of society
pragmatism not idealism
will not cry in public
less chance of illness
tires that grip in the wet
a good memory
still cries at a good film
still kisses with saliva
no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick that's driven into frozen winter shit
the ability to laugh at weakness
calm
fitter
healthier
and more productive
a pig in a cage on antibiotics.

'Fitter Happier' by Radiohead (from the album 'OK Computer')
