it was a lake , filled with lily pads except that they were all below the surface, no flowers..a faint voice from the background becomes clearer
the grumpy director was shouting out for me to get into the water, everyone was on standby and the camera was to start rolling
a guy holds a cd player not too far away, i gather its a song scene..hmm
two other girls had already happily descended , water waist high ..about two metres away from me
i hold my breath, grip my skirt tighter and go in,
i knew i should have trusted my instincts,it had hit me like a stench , like the one from the lake and i chose to ignore it..
why?
for fear of embarassment,...being laughed at, see i'm a boy on the inside,thts why !...
but it was too late
i was attacked by turtles (or tortoises couldnt tell the damn difference)
from all corners, as if they had waited for me all their lives to satisfy their cravings!!
i wake up, screaming........
a cold shower later, i make a note of what happened to my oracle,
have five bars of high-sugared granolas, hoping i'll have sweet dreams :) of course..woohoo!
clock says .1.12am, ok time to stuff my face in my pillow ..3 minutes...blackout
...in my pyjama curled up in my sofa, tv switched on with some soft 80's rock music going on..
trying to remove the remote control that i had been sleeping on, that had dug its way into my skin and left an imprint..ouch
suddenly a group of people walk in and tell me to go home , get out !
confused and sleepy , i go '..but i AM home..'
weirdly enough, they seem so familiar
so i walk away, 'please,no arguments tonite, not tonite'.. i think to myself
too tired
all i want is to desperately get some sleep...anywhere, ..
share a cardboard with a stray cat.. it doesnt matter
my legs stopped, my mind continues ticking
why do i feel i'm trapped in james blunt's 'same mistake' videoclip
consequences of locking yourself away in an ivory tower and listening to soppy songs for years maybe ?
i continue...looking for a corner to sleep....or hoping someone will take me in
just for one night, tomorrow i'll go back to mum's
and sort this out..whatever it is...
suddenly i hear a faint voice from the back say something , i listen harder
'....dogs dont chase after cars with the intention of driving it...'
clearly someone wasnt mumbling to himself, it was meant for me..dumb-ass
hey what the heck has that got to do with anything??! ! i shout
i open my eyes..
clock says 10.19am...shit ! late for work !
wait a minute ..what the hell was that all about??
i sit up on my couch ...burst out laughing
:)
