Why is it that conservatives seem to think that those on the left are all chairman mao wannabes because they dare to hope for a society that takes care of everyone? I wouldn't say the last 10 years of tory government have been inherently evil because calling it evil absolves them of responsibility but... a callous disregard for the poor, elderly, infirm, BAME and LGBTQ+ communities? Absolutely!

A gray disk, the colour of Chiba sky.
Now -
Disk beginning to rotate, faster, becoming a sphere of paler gray. Expanding -
And flowed, flowered for him, fluid neon origami trick, the unfolding of his distanceless home, his country, transparent 3D chessboard extending to infinity.
Inner eye opening to the stepped scarlet pyramid of the Eastern Seaboard Fission Authority burning beyond the green cubes of Mitsubishi Bank of America,
and high and very far away he saw the spiral arms of military systems, forever beyond his reach.
And somewhere he was laughing, in a white-painted loft, distant fingers caressing the deck, tears of release streaking his face.
