The World Still Turns As I Watch
I sat in the gallery until it closed
Not looking at anything
Just not going home from work
I feel like looking for a sign saying 'free hugs' and signing up
(Although I've just declined a similar offer when someone asked if I was single. I said no and moved to somewhere safer. Only free hugs from the right kind of weird person - I'm choosy)
Luckily the lights just changed to green for pedestrians - I should pay more attention walking
I like the music the person who didn't run me over was playing - very bluesy
Ahh I've not said what's wrong... It's the two things parental and marital
Lucky green light again
I'll wait on the third one (button pressed)
I'm very much sighing every few steps as nothing needs to be wrong, nothing at all
It's a shame really, there's someone quite cheerful wanting to give having a laugh a go inside
I can feel it, I want to tell the marital I've had enough
Oh dear, rough area before I reach my car - all the expletives on the tail end of someone's conversation currently being overheard
I'm not like that - maybe I won't ever say I've had enough
My situation not as bad as this one behind me, although they are good at telling it straight
I'll just float back into my ok life and deal with it not being ok for me
The endurance test of not existing
I don't like it
It makes me so sad I need to talk about it
But I don't want to be a broken record (poetically or in person)
Aww the parking guy has travelled over to shout goodnight - it's nice he does that
Sat in my car, I'll turn on the ignition
Drive to the home that isn't
I bought black forest fancy chocolate and vegan marshmallows yesterday - maybe that'll cheer me up
A spider has caught a fly on the wing mirror, as much as I disagree I'll let it complete the task of dragging it to the edge, seems a shame to let it blow away on the breeze if there's a great day in the spiders life to be had
That was accomplished quickly little spider
I suppose I'd better go then
