Too much alcohol
that's why I'm weary
and my eyes are bleary
not because I'm weary,
but because I've just
woke up.

round and round in
bags under the bags
under my eyes
I'm old
so
that's no surprise

I've seen too much
and someone
at the back of the
theatre
shouts
so have I
get off the stage.

She
told me that I needed to relax
relax?
that won't help me
after last night
I need therapy.

I put words down on paper
which is an escape from
speaking them out
loud.

Struggling through Australasia
thought I might go to
Antarctica
if only because it's probably cooler
but
don't let that fool ya
I'm a hardy all-weather sort of dude

ya
should have seen me in Ethiopia
and in India
during monsoon season.

My reasons are global
we are all the noble one
the one's that go on
until it stops.

Woke
and thought it was Sunday
was getting ready to pray
realised it was Saturday
went back to sleep.

What if
the life that we find
existed on Mars
****** up their planet
and found Earth
to colonise

and we forgot
so we find a planet
that
may now be suitable
to settle on.
