The downside of banking
There's still money coming in through the door every day. So much money - money to die for, in many ways! Each wretched delivery entraps me further, wedging me betwixt mattress and ceiling. Thanks, Mr Postman, but no thanks! Go away! For so long, i wanted you to come - all my life. But now I want you to stop. What you bring me - it doesn't help.
My phone rings occasionally, but i cannot reach it to answer. And I'm not sure I now have the strength. So who knows who is trying to make contact? And with what messages? I do wonder.
Last night, I watched the big harvest moon, hanging shiny and round in the black sky. And then slowly, the pink and blue fringes, as dawn broke in the East. Down on the street below, some early morning laughter. Rather wonderful.
I'd like a drink, actually. I may be richer than Croesus, but what i really want is a drink. Some water...
