and now I could use some fresh food
but I write
I should shop but I’m not in the mood
so I write
there are dishes and pans in the sink
but I write
I can’t face the thoughts I may think
so I write
I promised to visit my friend
but I write
I fear I may go round the bend
so I write
I’ve been sitting for far too long
but I write
I can’t put right what is wrong
so I write
