The Hedonist's Biography
Fallout
The haze finally clears from my troubled mind,
I check the time, day and date to regain my balance,
it will take a while longer for my memory to recharge,
and my third eye is temporarily colour blind,
I go to the bathroom, look in the mirror with a quick glance,
should be a law against a face like that being at large,
I struggle through my daily absolutions,
stumble down the stairs, switch the iron on,
go into the kitchen for a strong black coffee,
I iron my shirt and trousers, bin the junk mail solutions,
grab a couple of rounds of toasted cheese and onion,
out of the front door into another manic monday.
