Inspired by my book & clad in joy this lovely 
day I graced the pool, and as perfection is 
always obliging in spite of being told to row 
upstream – it’s a sin for a canoe to speed 
down on its own – I graced the Sun 
who missed me when I left to go inside, hid 
behind a dark cloud; I solved a solitary typing 
in the kitchen curse – put my paper doll, her 
plastic friend and the puppet tiger next to me, 
a glass lamp is no-longer my only company;
looking forward to tea, with sweetener from 
shopping this morning awaiting its bitterness 
is no-longer too horrible to contemplate, also 
found rusks I can eat with impunity obviating 
need for meat 
Lost my irritating somnolence during the day, 
life is gloriously better as a dream infuses my 
being, turns my thoughts to the up-side of 
everything from which I cannot escape, 
puts a halo around people and things I love
