Indigestion, personal and global. |

CombinationI did lots of things last nightmy body wasn’t happy with Spinach-pasta with bleu-cheese, a glass of wine, a large brownie and four cigarettes All shuffling to settle, unsettlingly Last night my body said enough to combinations that seemed a good idea at the time and weren’t But sleep made it finally okay, as sleep so often does I get repaired somehow with sleep and maybe you do too Learn that combination doesn’t work, until the next time, when a bad idea sounds good Wheedling me into something dumb Lots of talk these days of ozone holes and water that’s not fit to drink Spinach-pasta with bleu-cheese, a glass of wine, a large brownie and four cigarettes I can only hope the earth sleeps well |
