Tolerable?
barely
rarely have I been in
this situation
or maybe
yes
in a dream,
but never for real.

Like most things that life brings
it remains a private affair,
but knowing what is out there
makes it more tolerable,
probably.
Rise and Shine loses its appeal when you wake up and feel groggy,
like your brain is saying, Good God he
lives,

however unlikely if you wake up just like me
take it easy,
we're all getting there.
I think that the mains tripped
it can't have been me
because
I was standing innocently
next to the girl
that I adore.

She
could if
She so desired
set me on fire
but
I'm burning anyway
every way
and
She knows.
If someone could take me from waking up early and keep me locked tight in my sleep.

I dream.

disjointed
sometimes disappointed
a ragbag assortment
I rummage with glee.

She nudges me
and I fall into a winning combination,

I dream.
It was the 'Glass Onion'
and it made us cry
when we knew for certain
that John would die.

Strawberry fields
were never forever
that was for sure
a lie.
Can you hear them in the corridors
slamming doors and making people jump?

I put in the earphones
but
can't hear myself think
weird?
not me,
the line, 'can't hear myself think'

it's an old saying which goes without saying but I said it anyway,
back in the day, Mum used to say that when we were playing, our playing usually ended in fighting which is what brothers did back then,

and now being sidetracked into a memory
I've forgotten what I was going to write,
how's your Thursday going?
