Balaclava Bob

Eyes glued shut to keep the night out and there's no use having a light so you put the light out until the morning cuts in and you have to go out,

yes!

the day breaks in like a burglar

creeping,

like ivy up a pergola.

 

There is frost on the roofs of the vehicles

that hang on the roadsides like icicles

and I think,

Extremities

was not a Greek philosopher.

 

I pull the ripcord and float down quite casually

into a Tuesday or it may be a Wednesday

either way

it's just another day to get through.
