Journey To The Centre Of The Skull

 

wake
and the habitual process begins
the rigmarole
clothed for a particular day
this particular sky

make the age old choice of a changeful mind;
to be comic or tragic

but all this sun shines on for good or ill
may as well be the paper-thin fictions
of a swiftly forgotten novel

for changeful minds dwell 
in their element
anywhere else but here
