slow slower stop
Mornings are slower now Time for a walk before coffee Time for silence as the rest of the family sleep Time to write to you freends Yesterday was swimming n chips n shopping Pushing my way through the maddening crowd Desperate to find a last minute gift for the Lovers in my life Avoiding tacky Christmas displays n credit card debt Wandering drunken santas Floods of humanity (in bizarre fashion this year) Long lines at checkouts deserted by assistants Then long afternoon naps With family n freends visiting later Wine n antipasto n celebration Fond farewells to travelling companions Children’s toys n stories Music songs readings Something real to pass the days with And then today… Thinking about thinking about praying About liturgy About art n poetry and what cd Should go on next Bowie I think See ya later
