terracotta family.

one ,
sits in the lotus position,
with laptop on knees.

the other,
entranced by the telly.

and not a word spoken,
for hours at a time.

no arguing though.

Eric for your own sanity you have to get out of there.
Fuck the house,rent a place on your own and leave it all behind mate.

staggy,
i'm too old for that now.
all my life i kept saying to myself,
"when he's grown up,when he's an adult".

but i'm brainwashed now.

i am more able to cope with it.

life eh?

having my porridge before bed,
and thinking about this stuff.

i'm not going any place.

i don't have the stomach for starting afresh.
and nor does she,i think.

if some fantastic opportunity was to present itself,
well,
who knows?
but really,
i don't see that happening.

i've got just about all i need.

yes it would be nice to have a woman to lie with and talk to sometimes,

share each others thoughts and feelings.
y'know?

but,
well,
if i found some-one else,
i doubt if it would work out.

women,
i just don't get where they're coming from.

it's probably not their fault.

and i'm of to bed.
