    I feel Irish today,
    No decent future, maybe just money and a new distillery
    The new hotel to fuck my view in Dublin 8 is empty
    The enormous student residence is as windy as a Hong Kong typhoon.
    And empty like my pockets.
    How is it possible to live without depression in Dublin 8?
    Rents growing up like young kids
    New lovers prefer Inchicore for survival
    I saw a couple of new Dubs from Yemen
    Laughing in from of a €16 sort-of-pita on Fumbally Lane .
    Dog shit is everywhere and landlords now aren’t building
    Anymore, they prefer selling the risk to young tenters
    Ladies are covering up today like an old bad memory
    The weather hit me like the
    Cultural page of the Irish Times
    And Dalkey economics need to take their fucking Volvos
    And visit reality on the North Side and stop talking about Brexit.
    Living on an island other than Sicily is hard, especially if your rent looks
    Like a Greenwich Village one without the Jazz and Latin vibes
    I read a prick note from a fella working on cultural issues in Ireland that creates
    Anxiety in me.

    How am I supposed to live?
    How am I supposed to fuck?
    How am I supposed to smile?
    We have a fucking bad poet taking care of us,
    And a Minogue fan and Murphy destroying the social fabric of Dublin 8

    The Irish create the 3.0 Proletarian Profile, they are not concerned
    Because money arrives, nothing more
    It is sad, like a Dub
    Empathy is gone
    Love is only there
    And Setanta doesn’t fight any longer.
