The Cooling of Summers.


Hazy summer afternoons, to sit under the shade of a parasol, sip tea and delicately nibble a pastry while
Admiring a perfectly green lawn. Me! I'd rather have
a bacon butty; never had a parasol nor an army of straw standing to attention saluting a lawnmower.

From my flat I can see a grey factory wall painted white by the sun, but no hazy pastel coloured afternoons though. When I venture out the moon is
in full charge of the night and no one sees me leave bothersome people who might ask about hazy pubs.

April and May are the best months, time before
April is vainglorious hope …and after May, bitter
Disappointment. "Why?" I ask myself, do we chase around for love, when the end result is just another
Greek vase of illusion shattered on the kitchen floor
