April Fool (1st April 2008, 12.39pm)
It was all a joke, wasn’t it?
Timed to coincide,
Fluttering out and up into blue obscurity
Like the wings of a startled crow,
A shabby flight of fancy,
A prelude
To this
Day.
Here lies impurity,
Muddled faith
And a twisted sweaty tangle
That is only four limbs now;
Half an octopus.
The first.
You were,
Yes you were,
Changing my mind,
My heart,
My ways…
So here I sit,
Gazing out at infinity,
The sunny space outside the window
As the wind shakes the building
Like God is coming,
Pure, pure, pure
Pleasure…
You taught me
How.
It was all a joke, was it?
It takes two;
Two people to have a conversation;
Two people to construct a phone-call;
One of them is me,
So where are you?
