Oh, the folly.. April 10, 2008

I saw you at the hospital today, swaying in front of me, pushing an elderly woman, perhaps your mother, your abaya swirled around your lower body and it was sometimes lifted to reveal stupendously thick, ridiculously high white heels, and I wondered as I followed behind you in my sensible sandals made for practicality, I wondered how you would manouevre that wheelchair without falling over, without veering off into some corner, and as I mused about this notion you crashed the wheelchair into the aluminum doors you silly woman, but the interesting thing is I never saw your face for I walked behind you the whole time, but I chortled anyway in my feminine humour, nudging my companion, and we shared a light moment there and then.

The words
descend upon me
as I lay in the total
darkness
of my room;
They swim
into my mind,
like mindless
sperm,
with only one
aim,
and yet
I come away
………..
with nothing;
Simply wishing
for morning to come
soon…
so I can breathe.

I think,,,
and I ponder…
over
and
over
and
over
and
I just can’t
come up with the answer
that I already know
deep down inside.
