There's many pictures in life,
to keep our hearts beating warm..
our mothers face, the birth of a child.. ... are the norm..
But some I have installed
in favourite replay..
like all my worldly belongings
piled in a heap in a barn..
When we were evicted from our home..
.. all the crap you ever bought in life. covered with a tarpaulin..
for student mice to excavate..
the tomb of don't give a shit..
and in contrast..
ten years later, the fourth house
I renevated on my own..
standing in newly plastered
Walls the ceiling gave way..
and streaming water poured
from all four corners..
You'd think I would cry.. But no.
Turn the water off and lock
the fucker up.. and go..
it sold as it stood..o
But the image was a powerful one..
Things don't always go to plan..
best thing to do is just carry on..
