P

As i showered today, i did a terrible, terrible thing - I peed.

I watched my golden stream carve it's path through the air and dive towards the drain like a lightsaber and i had a thought; For the best part of 27 years, i have been peeing down the same drain.

Despite all the events, occurrences, years, hangovers, letters, nail-clippings, phone calls, laughs, plane trips, funerals, full-moons, tears, fist-fights, pub-meals, weddings - there is this bizarre constant that makes a mockery of time. My pee travels 3 more feet to reach the drain today, than it did when i first peed down it all those years ago.




I really need to move out.

Coins in your case

I walked passed you again on the weekend.

Your sweet singing voice cut through the city-street corner murmur. At regular intervals the approval of coins clapping chimed, as passer bye's dropped coins in your case.

I wish you hadn't dyed your hair red though...

And i wish you wouldn't wear those low-cut tops and short skirts and bash your eye-lids together every time a man walks by.

I wish you wouldn't play that game. I wish you would just play the music.

Success!...?
