Come this time next week
All my work will be done
Time to fly Ryanair
To the Czech Republic for some fun.
I'm staying in a hostel
Basic accomodation for the poor
Even if I had more money
A posh hotel I'm not so sure.
My usual excuse to fly off
A little birthday jaunt
Truth is I've nothing to celebrate
Far too many dark memories
That might come back to haunt.
Going away clears my head
Leaving hum drum existence behind
Wandering streets, football, ice hockey
Writing as I find.
That might sound somewhat similar
To the usual shit I do
But this is giving my thoughts some freedom
Rather than caged in my skull
Like in a zoo.
Sure I'll still be lonely
Life is only as good as you make
But no matter how insignificant I feel
I really need this break.
Dulwich Poet 15th October 2014
(I wrote this about a week before I was off on my annual break, which I always take when it's my birthday. this one was back to the Czech Republic, but a new destination, staying in Brno)
