Time Machine

Time Machine I thought it odd no shops open this Monday morning, there was a coffee machine at the corner where she lived but I had no coins, had wanted to walk past her house while preoccupied with drinking coffee, should she look out and open the window and ask what I was doing here in her street I would tell her I was looking for a garage to repair my car. I walked past her house anyway, windows shuttered, what a lazy woman sleeping the morning away. Now I was hungry wanted a bacon butty and a strong cup of tea, but the local café was also shut… an elderly man with his dog walked by told me the café didn´t open on Sundays, which I thought remarkable I had beaten time with 24 hours. But in order to adjust my time with reality I walked home and went back to bed.
