Scheduled Simping 

ah yes that scheduled simping, 
Sunday morning, hungover n’ 
horny, where one wank won’t 
do it and the dehydration and 
a takeaway and the shame and 
second wank and often the 
weight of the blues setting in. 
but Monday welcomes a fresh 
menagerie. then there is a 
love letter of endings I 
never expected in the pages 
of a Carson McCullers book 
from the NI lass who’s 
impossible to forget. 
I’m feverish, get the paracetamol. 
’cos spring snogs summer pure slop. 
today I feel like a boy who got 
his pants pulled down 
at the public pool. 
I gape at the long running sitcom 
suddenly going into syndication.
