Sat still, no motion
People passing by, not even a notion
A fly lands, not once but now twice
I want to move it, but maybe it was its choice
Your everyday pigeon, just given up the ghost
I wonder what it thought, this is me at my most
I'd rather sit here and let be what may be
Than dying on the top of the branch, and land from the nearest tree

As hot as the desert wind
Emerging between the two suns
Her face covered from the blinding light
But when revealed she is always worth the wait
My Uncle and Aunt say that I chose wisely
From the schools of Mos Espa and over to Mos Eisley
She is the most beautiful figure that I ever have seen
She is mine
My only
Tatooine Queen

Do animals believe in reincarnation
To come back as an army of ant's
And conquer this land as our reclamation

Do dog's wonder who picks up our daily poo
Who walks behind us everyday
And cleans us up all shiny and new

Do birds start to think why we don't ever fly
Just all walking around and driving our cars
Whilst leaving the clouds alone in the sky

I do wonder a lot of things in life as I look up to the sky,
As when I do meet my maker I'll have a list
Number one, please tell me God
As we've always wondered,
Just why, why, why?

Do animals think of reincarnation
To come back as an army of ants
Or its just us,
The selfish, we want more
Than this two legged, I rule this world,
Sensation 🤔

Sometimes I would love to drill into the side of my head
Attach a tube to the hole and watch it pour with the things that I said
See the dreams I could never explain come to life now away from my bed
And watch them live a new life now my thoughts are buried and dead

Tea
A thousand thoughts
I don't know where to begin
Let's simplify this conundrum
Stop
Think
Kettle on
Breathe
A cup of tea
Always the best beginning
Simplicity itself
Tea.
OK,
Lets begin...

3 months off and what did you do -

Learn Spanish?
Tile the bathroom?
Write that great novel you always said?
Rekindle lost love over the net?
Learn how to bake like the rest of the gang?
Its what we all do, it seems everyone can!

No

No I didn't

I watched box sets on Netflix and just got fat

Proper fat
