ditched the idea of a shipping container
going to get me several big tents
one for me to live in
the others to rent on
LandBnB.

I'll have to nail them down in East London
things go walkies around here.

Footnote.
I toyed with the idea of getting some Yurts
but somehow the word yurts hurts

I have things to do
but I'm not sure what,

I got an early morning fugue
trying to find out who I am
and it's not yet breaking dawn
what was my name when I was born?

the fog lifts
the fugue departs
hell and all the handcarts
have rolled away
and today
I have things to do.

She sees through me
I must be paper-thin,
think again She says to me
and strokes my double chin,

but we are as we are
and to be fair
as we are has got me this far
so
no complaints from me.

Wheee two days free
but I'll still be up at five
watching the day crawl in.

Thought I was sorely tempted
to find I was only sore and
it was a real letdown

but I'm alright
two days free
why shouldn't I be?

She says
the bathroom needs tiling
those papers need filing
and before I can get a word in
She gives me that look.

thought I was free
alas
not to be.

Gullible's travels?
well
we're all fallible
aren't we?

There I was
because I was
there's no changing that,
but now
here I am
because I am
in a constant state of change.

Flux, which is not a swear word,
that's just a random additive
which they may put in your food.

Some succumb to it
I **** my thumb and
get on with it,
we all get wound up
some get crushed in the
round-up
some succumb to it
I **** my thumb and
get on with it.

It's just a page filled
with rage
or
is it
unrequited love?

forget what I wrote above
it's half a page
and only that
everything
pales into
flatline
pulse gone
having
a
hard time,

organising
the origin
so
to begin
it's just a page
and I've turned it.

The sunset
filled with hope
for tomorrow
and regret
for
the past.

Hmm
I'll get there,
one day
I'll be able to share
the truth.

Today was tough going
but knowing how tough
things can get
I got going too.

'We have never had it so good'
oh
please tell me if you could
when was that?
