Aujourd'hui

Today.

I got up of bed very late, at about noon.

Got lunch.

And shoe polish.

Got to polish my formerly white with mold boots.

Now they are gleaming.

Yes, a little shiney.

Going for a hair cut.

Both for the army,

And coz of Chinese New Year,

That thing about not cutting hair during the 15 days.

Then a shower

And a trial run of the uniform.

'Lucky' blokes and gals may get to see.

Then it's TCC at Holland V

With a Rafflesian.

Then it's dinner.

A bit of soothing away paranoia.

A bit of grasping at the line of beauty.

A bit of preening.

Then Tantric.

Then home.

Somehow waking up at home tomorrow seems apt

As a place for reflection and looking to the past.

It was a first day.

It was a beginning.

But a beginning that's no longer quite whole without Mum.

Beginnings.

I will think about beginnings.

Beginnings as a theme

Maybe to be posted.
