Daylight some days are clearer you wake up & jump off down to the money machine & find there is enough to buy a new packet of cigarettes & you go back home & open the windows & the sun glares into the room & a breeze pushes itself past the window frame & plays with bits of loose paper across the polished wooden floor-boards & you sit there smoking listening to your favourite R.E.M. album wondering how life could get any better Joanne Fisher

“(I am, I, am,) I am Superman and I can do anything.” I can almost see the smoke trails swirling in the daylight and hear Stipe”s voice ring through the air. Excellent piece Joanne.
