Friday and
it's a cold one
I'm
trying to get four jumpers on
over three shirts and a vest.  

I could have stayed indoors
tucked up in my nest
I should not have got out
of the bed, but I did
I suppose it's for the best.


Blue would be the colour
that suggests itself to me
blue lips everywhere I look
blue
all I can see

and the underground is quiet today
almost
as if the drop in temperature has
stolen its voice away.

Heading up to 'Pret'
I bet the chocolate's
nice and hot,
then off to Soho Square
to do a spot of work

if it's still as chill when evening
falls
you might be jolly decking your halls
but
I'll see pawnbrokers covering their *****
and
I'll be staying in.
