How can that sideways look from your year old rescue
Splayed in one of his countless hair shedding comfort zones
Mean so much as I exit the indoors to the garden
For the all too frequent cigar and drink
Fuck it
My space I say
I work amidst the virus
Every other cunt has the luxury of zoom and work from home
Another reminder of my wasted youth and potential potential
I am working class
Like it or fucking lump it
A key worker
Applaud me you sighs
I'll build a fucking bar out here
Countless hours planning
Staring at the weeds
Not that they bother me
Natures misunderstood
Non conforming
A garden bar won't solve this problem
Plough what you will into it.
It's been a year and a half to remember
A jab in the arm
A cure all
Dependant on how I react
This could be the best time of my life
But for my children?
And the memories of a half filled parentage
With the vow of mine won't have that
All thoughts in the world don't excuse a parents' purpose
Back in from the garden to the gaff
Where my doubts can smoulder on
That's where the happiness must lie
And only the dug they wanted knows what's what
I did lose you once I got to the lines I highlighted. I have a vague sense of what you are saying, but it's hard to follow.
