'it's Love Actually'

Monday 
I can do it
'Standing on my head'
but I'd rather have hot milk 
and cornflakes smuggled into..
...red 
I feel the colour coming creeping 
waking up my life from sleeping 
dreams..
..the wind can't whistle properly 
it's driving me insane and
that constant spittle soaked Godiva 
always heralds rain.

And now it's half past four 
half way nearer to the door 
in fact it's almost all the way 
through Monday 
( not really 
I made that up)

A cup 
a wash 
no 
shave 
saving that for later.

That's it for a bit
I'm awake 
cold 
I ache 
but better that than laying flat 
and
practising for my funeral.
