Already THREE days – and in a row, and still <br />the headache grows; did not prepare gentle <br />lentils, ate anything – peanuts and raisons, two <br />minute noodles and soup with the net result – <br />combined with temperature escalation – a mind <br />as empty, dark and lonely as lost spaceships <br />in video games <br /> <br />Useless trying to escape by ‘net’ surfing, or <br />wishing a swimming pool next to my desk as <br />I did when I was nine in a red hot fibreglass <br />classroom; still remember punishment when I <br />failed to spell fire-brigade correctly, didn’t help <br />showing my teacher it was copied wrongly in <br />my notebook <br /> <br />Daydreaming about an office swimming pool <br />won’t help today, drinking tea and coffee is to <br />blame, wearing imitation stones in my ears – <br />at least I’m symbolising beautiful thoughts – a <br />lunchtime visit to the Chinese led to my adding <br />shiny glass to symbolism I love so much…<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adding-shiny-glass-revision/
