Its fleeting for most of us
A cluster of subtley sweet tasting minutes
That special treat that takes off your stiff shoes and lets you off the hook
As the juggling act of adulthood takes over, we learn to really indulge once the crowd has clapped and thrown us a coin

Some people like conversation, a joke or a new perspective
Some people like chocolate, swimming or TV
Meditation and massage, *** and cigarettes
Or a drink and the chance to reminisce with a friend

I find as I wonder what next in this gradual development of body and mind through questions and note taking and pushing the press up and stressing and stressing that I'm just not good enough rushing and impatiently pushing towards the dream and the identity I'm obligated to chase

...


That when I'm done, I really like a good cup of tea and a sit down
Its good to relax
