I am night shifts. I am twentyfourseven open supermarkets and off-licenses.
I am clothes made by children in far away countries paid less per year than I can spend in a week.
I am on demand entertainment, wherever and whenever I want to see it.
I am multimedia Lithium battery personal music players.
I am the internet, instant messaging, webcams, blogs and email.
I am online dating, pixels for judgement, personalities confined by word limits. Interests and hobbies categorised, personal characteristics classified and reduced to a ‘tick box’ exercise.
I am the motorways, A roads and B roads, always waiting in traffic.
I am town centres, cloned commerical enterprise and unstoppable retail power and presence.
I am fatigue, the tide of sleep that washes over me everyday never satisfies my need for rest.
I am advertising, crammed into corners, bus stops, billboards, clothing, sports grounds and television.
I am transport, cars burning fuel, piled up in accidents. Planes marking the sky.
