Well, here I am again, sitting in the same house that I spent the winter in 28 years ago, an empty house, on an empty street. Last time there were 7 dogs and a cat that wouldn't stop meowing until it was in my lap. This time there is a rather unattractive tom cat coming to beg for food only.
It's raining. Last time there were books and drums, I had paper, paint, animals. It's Sunday, nothing doing. I can*t sign into my email or see messages on Facebook using this android, my phone is drying out, last night I dunked it in water hoping to clean the citcuits. It hasn't started since getting soaked 8 days ago.
I left a post on my Facebook page explaining that I can't read oe reply to messages and to reply to my post. Since then I have recieved 2 more, which is a little frustrating.Friends have replied to my post "no land line?" No, landline, just a borrowed phone, a table, chairs, a bed, rain, a cat that runs away.
Well, Greta Thunberg, I didn't fly here, I cycled 1500km and caught a boat and mostly it rained, there were thunder storms and such sh***y driving on the dark rainy roads that I had Freddy Mercury's voice singing " Mamaaa- I don't wanna die" on repeat in my mind, the rest oof the time I kept on repeating the Lord's prayer, just in case I did, just in case there is, just in case they could hear.
Friends are going to phone, sun is going to shine, shops are going to open. My Nokia is going to arrive from the UK. I'm going to fix the antenae and get movies.Going to get a bottle of gas, paper, pen, ink. I'll persevere wirh this cat, I suspect that he is descended from my cat Weenie.
There are hot springs and beaches, borage, mushrooms and maybe it's not too late to find asparagus. There is a fire place, I can use this place for three months. There is a ferry to Tunisia where friends are waiting in Tataouine. There is a ferry ro Malta, I guess I'll visit my father there for the first time. He'll be happy for sure, he's been there for 15 years, pickled on 60mg of Proxac a day, its like talking to an imposter, a droid, jolly, superficial. It's like being in the movie Bladerunner and trying to ignore it.
The phone is going to ring.
