BINARY

Yes to the living flesh
No to the shroud

Yes to the NHS
to nurses
and yes to the living wage

Yes to the Himalayas
Yes to shoulders,
knees. Yes

to life, its bruise
and White Dress days

Yes to Public Services
to flowers, age

to kids, to Ska
to free GPs

Yes to the night
Yes to the other-wise

“It's a Yes” to Sciences,
the Arts, Rachmaninoff

to food, to love
and change

Here's to it, to us,
to damaged goods
inventive minds
