Sketch of a Rainy Morning

[flipx]

awake
pre-dawn hush
sleep hanging from
bleary eyes

racing
into the wind
a flimsy umbrella
and me

downhill
to a bus
30 minutes away
from wages

damn bills!

I got an exciting one from the Visa card today! Time to freeze the card in the freezer!!!

I feel your pain - I've got dentist bills, uni fees and textbooks to shell out for in the next few weeks, and my credit card's near maxed out. Eek.

I love that line!

You've got talent boy!

That line, huh? That was actually filler I put in when I was editing it; the middle bit is what originally popped into my head as I ran for my bus that morning. :o)

[jimpy]

it reminds me of those wonderful poems i found of yours on the net. it made me cry, cry like a river.

I should stop being sarcastic, but this is the best your getting from a poetryphobe.

Oh Jimmy...dear, sweet James... Mention those poems again and I'll send in the Jewish mafia.

Hey babe,
How are ya. Hope all is well. What is your mob number at the moment. Could you message it to me. Mine is the same as always just I think you may have a new number.

Hey Nicki, I remember there was a voicemail from you, ages ago, that I haven't replied too; eep. I still have the same number, but just have been really busy/out of it for the majority of this year. Am looking at visiting Melb in September - will try to give you a call later in the week. :o)

[insubmissive]

Mmm yes..very nice. :) I've been complemented by a flimsy umbrella or two.
I recommend that you listen to this song: Ani DiFranco - Sunday Morning.

Ani's always been one of those must-love artists whom I've yet to get into...I'll let you know how I go. :o)
