September

Should I say that it is the first day of my month? Should I say that the best people are born in September? While this is true, it can't be exactly true as none of my lovers have been born in September. Perhaps that's what I need, a lover of September birth.

The sun is shining, although it is still very cold in the mornings. The sky is blue, although the wind is white. The bay is smooth, turquoise and still. The horizon wraps around us like the hard edge of a dinner plate.

The smog is brown.

I’ve been feeling like I am coming down with something for the last couple of days and when I was going hot and cold, hot and cold, this morning I decided that I should take myself off home to rest. There are nasty flu’s going around, which I certainly don’t want.

I headed home around 10am. I bought some new porn on the way. Well, if I was going to stay in bed all day, I needed something to entertain myself with? True?

I stayed in bed for most of the day. I so desperately didn’t want whatever I had to develop into anything.

I spoke to Tom at 7pm, after a bong and after Tim and Nicholas went out for a while. I told Tom that I was going to go visit him tonight, if it wasn’t for the flu/cold. He said he’d love to see me and that I should come and visit. So, I did.

I ate fish & chips and chocolate bars. I ate dim sims at the hospital cafe, four. The dim sims at the Alfred are becoming a bit of a ritual.
