In Which Pussycat Tries To Take A Nap

The hum of the washing machine
isn't helping

and the half closed blinds
shine
dozens of
tight lipped smiles

mocking my attempt
at day time sleep.

The fresh sheets
lie flat
across me

and I try
to relax

while voices on the footpath
pass,
fade,
return
and stomp off to the percussive
tussle of the trees.

A motorbike accelerates into crescendo
and I slowly

let it all go.
