if it takes
so long
after someone
to get back to where you were
are you insane
or only very stupid
and now that i’m there
where am i

—not that time matters of course
time is a great fraud
all the same it feels so strange
to wake up in the winter
before her

people say nobody’s perfect
but almost everyone
looks like a god
in the right weather.
why not celebrate

while the sun shines
life’ll drive you mad
regardless why not
be a happy drunk
