21/04/20 - Kero Kero Bonito

Out of bed just after one

Don’t have time to catch the sun

All the bugs are at their business

And the flowers are in bloom

We take a note of their perfume

Underneath the pale spectre of the moon

And I just stand there waiting

Getting my sunbeams

Last night’s pasta in a tub

Out the fridge for lunch and breakfast

But as I sit down to eat

I hear a song riding the breeze

Happy birthday to Eloise

Their mom and dad both let out a cheer

They’re gonna throw a party another year

And I should take a walk for a bit

As I head up the road

A private ambulance zooms off into the distance

In silence, all the shops are closed

With rainbows painted on the glass

Covering notes that they hope to see us soon

But right now there’s not much they can do

I dodge a jogger or two

Back at home, I’m playing a game

Rewatch repeats, I set a call up with a friend

A means towards an end, 'til we can meet again

«Hey, so, how are you doing?»

«I'm okay, you know, the usual kinda weird»

So we animate the cosmos, darken our minds

Eventually the song heralds the dawn

I can’t stifle my yawns

I make my bed up after I floss

And tuck in tightly

For a new day
