Flat Battery Day
Today my internal battery is flat,
I really can’t be fussed.
I wake at five am,
have early breakfast
and my stay-alive pills,
then go back to bed until nine.
By then the sun is above my fence.
I missed the bin collection,
so another fortnight of ‘green’ waste,
accumulating in the bin,
Amazon packaging, tin cans,
plastic milk bottles, stuff like that.
None of it smells, so what the hell.
I wonder why, then remember,
it happens every New Year
after the first few days.
I’ll coast for a while,
not push the issue,
then bounce back.
At last, the days are visibly longer.
Gyppo.
