Magpies and Disparate Anxious Thoughts

Woke up at four then with each passing train Been waiting all weekend for Monday again Saw two magpies but one of them was dead Is that sorrow or joy for a superstitious head? anxiety and worry is all about me I’m all on my own yet surrounded by family My age is now greater than my waist So there’s less time to waste on a wrong mental place
