I Didn'T Go Out To Work, He Did

no doubt i was there
but he went into the building
he stood in front of people
my lips moved
and i heard what he said
but that cheese and pickle sandwich,
i ate that
because i was hungry
it was him who knocked on the door
and made an announcement -
and left
i'm looking up award-winning pillow sprays 
feather & down
sweet dream
clutching electronics
he'll be there
and i'll be there
but elsewhere
imagining being on a 75km 
walk around Windermere  
are you on your own just shouting?
goodnight gorillas 
in the mist
