I was pretty sure that was it.

Or was it this one here?

Oh right, I changed it.

What did I change it to?

Maybe this time I should record

the new password somewhere?

I just hope I don’t lose this one too!

Stumble and jive.

Move like a gale.

Find a wary drive.

Be the first you can be.

No one else will believe you.

So behave like yourself.

Things to do.

Illnesses to heal.

People to complain about.

Appointments to keep.

Friends to visit.

Children to look after.

Days blur

And lose meaning.

What does it really mean

When you are not able to understand yourself?

Fly back to young

Because old has become taboo.

Awful things happen

When your eyes are closed.

People get hurt

Mishaps happen.

Upon waking

Fear courses through you.

Did you actually hear that thump

Or was it just your brain playing tricks on you?

Only one way to find out

As you stumble out of bed

And run down the stairs

To make sure everyone is okay.

Please.

I would like some time to myself.

I do not need you looking over my shoulder.

Watching me.

It is very annoying.

So please.

Go away.

Tell me

Can you?

What does it mean

when 3 beings

hold you upside down?

All the stories

of space and imagination

Will soon be forgotten

as the future holds sway.

Or just plain old wiring.

You know it is a bad sign

when you can only run

this appliance and not that one

at the same time’

without the breaker blowing.

Hence electricity bills skyrocket.

It is too bad

I am the only one

who likes them.

Then again,

it means

I don’t have to share.

When Yummy in the Tummy

turns out to be

Bums are dumb

As you sit on the porcelain throne

In exhausting agony.

No one in the house drinks Pepsi.

It is kept for that special guest.

He loves the soda.

Maybe

A little too much.

But when he comes over

I always try to make sure

I have his favorite beverage on hand.
