Like the sun had drained away and it rained again today,
that's how it tricks you.

me in a mankini, haha
trying to get a tan.

not a chance
so
I flicked through the back pages
of a magazine I bought ages ago
for
something to do,
nothing new in there
but
there wouldn't be
I purchased it in '63
and no,
not 1863.

tired now
I'm going to sleep
whilst
trying to keep
the shadows from dancing
across the ceiling.
