Jet lag.
its not just a state of mind
all week we struggle to stay awake past 8pm
and struggle not to wake up at 3am
the kids, the wife, the dog
and I
and couple that with the coughing,
the aches and pains
of a flu caught
travelling right down the back of the plane
in coach.
and the heat difference
new york,
hot dry and dusty
sydney,
cold damp and heavy.
and then there's work and
normal life resuming.
the kids have their lessons
the wife teaches hers
and I go off to my place of work.
the big cars on the blink
suspension needs a total redo
too heavy for its airbags
its designed to fail.
and cost a shit load when it does.
and now i'm arguing with miles
about how to occupy himself
without a screen
at 4am
in the morning.
jet lag.
Brilliant
