The owl hoots as in hoots mon here you are again,
Scottish owls are rare in Spain.

I woke to the sound of silence
even the hands of the clock wore soft gloves, very nice said the old me and quaintly so.

Breakfast was a cup of strong joe,
gotta get going somehow and a fix of caffeine is about the most I can manage.

We'll go out soon
She said,
I nodded my head
I do that a lot
it makes for an easier life.
I haven't seen this time of the night since last night and like last night it gave me a fright, but I got over it, drank a bit, made a crisp sandwich, no, not a sandwich made crisply but a sandwich with crisps in it,

Jeez do I have to explain everything?
Trying to unwind is like trying to find Atlantis, it's a hit-and-miss thing,
one cannot but help imagining stretching and snapping,

Wine? oh, and I could so I do and more than one which is two or more,

I'm relaxing and my
back's getting eased
my knees are ******
I need my tummy tucked
but the wine insists
that the boat I should be on
is the one that I missed,

and yet
before I forget
before Bachus attracts me
into one more debauchery
and
I fukin forgot
*** you merlot
with a hard T
( see what I did there?)
and If you didn't do you think
that I care?
Take all your clocks back to the shops that you bought them from, put your watches on a watch list and go out to get ******, you have one hour to catch and get yourself smashed,
do it with friends.

your time starts
soon.
You eat a thousand hamburgers dripping hot with cheese and though they'll say it's bad for you you'll do exactly as you please because you is us and we don't go out shopping anymore we go out to stuff our faces at the local burger store.

Sick of it?
tough
the train has left the station
and you're left with obesity
and unhealthy constipation.

Food's not like it used to be
if it ever was at all
but you cannot educate the people
if they don't hear the call,
so
write the warning in red paint
on a ten-foot-high stone wall.
Swimming between the islands
eyes peeled looking for diamonds
we thought we'd never find them
and that's the way it seemed

never thinking that those times
would become the diamonds in our minds.
