What time is it? 3:47. Adam says before 5 is too early. Maybe he should stay home with our daughters once in a while. Let’s see him make it to 5 o’clock. It is Friday. I’ll mix it with orange juice. He never notices.

Can’t cope, I just can’t cope

we slept, talked and did the nasty
where I, in innocence once
built a raft of driftwood
to take me twenty miles across
