Try it, you might like it

Maybe I have found an uneasy paradise,
alone with R.E.M on the transistor radio
and strong coffee in an elephant shaped mug.
In no way is it an ideal heaven,
being alone and scared of this sometimes as summer people pass by outside
and all I can do is look at the framed print of peach coloured flowers on the wall.
But it is something good,
to dare to live alone, with no telephone
but with other luxuries, including blueberries and sweet apricots in the fridge, Mr. Bo Jangles now on the radio,
and the sea on either side of my little life.
