#188 - staying together may drive us apart

188

staying together may drive us apart

our hearts go out to Melbourne

but it’s safer to stay at home

according to the sudden mood oscillation index (SMOI)

there are only so many rooms in your head

staying at home

makes everyone aphoristic

who tops it off…

cover your cough

elbow a sneeze

staying apart will lighten the heart

outside they’re dropping like flies

don’t look

make observations of each other

casual carnal asides

don’t you know filo makes you fart?

that’s cant and superstition!

so on and so forth

shut the fuck up

can’t hear with the kettle on

keeping at bay

run out of puff

where’s the all-I-should-have-achieved?

blame is no longer a game here

but who walked the dog to death?

sentenced to same marriages

parenthood, siblingry

in all relationships

need a breather

not a respirator

you could become obesely morbid

just following the advice

or well worn way to the pantry

studying leaf cast shadows

vanishing into the book or the bark

myself becoming the music

is where I’ll have gone

or back to a little thing like sleep

they do it south of the border

and when we come out of it

same again as never before

the pillows are talking now
