As if the untethered float of air
Less weight than a real thought
Free, with every cup of coffee
Free, with every singles walk
Beside the endless canal
Half seen, half heard
Half sensed, half smelt
Half hearted attempt
To wash over, wipe out
Visits to the supermarket
As if in a daydream of silence
Less light than a real hip-hooray
To pay for, with your every pause
To pay for, with each sitting
In that comfortable chair
