Cloudy
The sky is gray and white and cloudy,
Sometimes I think it's hanging down on me.
And it's a hitchhike a hundred miles.
I'm a rag-a-muffin child.
Pointed finger-painted smile.
I left my shadow waiting down the road for me a while.
Cloudy
My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy,
They have no borders, no boundaries.
They echo and they swell
From Tolstoy to Tinker Bell.
Down from Berkeley to Carmel.
Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill.

Good but wet morning, all! Raindrops outside. Fortunately I'm inside. And I'm drinking unbranded Keemun tea to get me going today. Good choice.

I have just put a piece of 'kabuse' over The Twin (you can imagine what the guy in the plant nursery said when I asked to buy a piece the size of a handkerchief...) so that when I pluck her first three leaves, I too will have the prize of prizes. I seem to remember that for the VERY BEST tea, the leaves should be picked by naked virgins, but A) my wife vetoed that idea, and B) I don't know of any virgins over the age of 11. I'll have to settle for my wife doing the harvest. It shouldn't take too long.
Back to my tea...
