she came she saw i did one

She came at me with intent

She wanted my lips

She wanted them then and there

Both of them

Top

and bottom

Right then

Right there

No small talk

No flirting

No amorous banter

Just a crooked lunge

A hit and hope

A stab in the dark

Ow!

Don’t get me wrong

I’m all up for a bit of passion from the hip

a bit of rum she bean an that

But on this occasion

I wasn’t

Why?

because on this occasion the advances were being made

by what looked like a frantic invalid

A wacko banshee

A madcap muttonhead

frothing at the mouth

and grasping for her alarm cord

Had she lost her false teeth??

the only alarm ringing though

was in my head

it was screaming

RETREAT

RETREAT

RETREAT

So I did

But I also know that the bad lights and free flowing alcohol

Were to blame for my enthusiasts unfavourable state

so i don't bear any grudges

We’ve all been there

Haven’t we?

Same old story

Everything and everyone around me is in colour

Apparently it’s been like that for ages

I just had to look a little closer

Stop gazing through actuality

but stare at it square in the eyes

At first I wasn’t even aware it existed

Wasn’t bothered

I was content with the monochrome landscapes

uninterrupted dullness

and uniform façade I had grown accustomed to over the years

But now I am aware and it’s becoming clearer by the hour

Even by the minute

It’s happening right now actually

The increasing emergence of it

Its evolution

This wasn’t something I just picked up straight away though

It took a while to adjust

Squinting helped at first but now it’s just there

All the time

In my face

On my face

And every other face

Oozing in and out of nowhere

Hovering above and underneath everything

resting atop of some peoples heads like a hat

Or exotic bird

It’s dripping from fingers

Congealing around toes

It even came out of someones ear earlier

Sounds too much but really it isn’t

It’s quite beautiful

I recommend it

Everlasting puddles of colour just appear out of nowhere

Immerse their destination in a colossal splash

And then just evaporate

Disappearing in a flicker

Gone

Until the next one rolls up

Immediately after the last

More intense and concentrated

Fiercer

More powerful

Ready to illuminate the eye and brighten the mind

Again

And again

And again

And again

And again

And again

AND AGAIN

Shit it’s doing my head in now

When will it stop

I can’t even close my eyes without it happening

ARGHHHHHHH

Fuck colour

Its boring me now

I want to go to sleep
