I will sit just here.
three people are standing over there,
one has their back to me.
looking up I see the third, a man, in uniform,
begin to approach.
"No thank you, I've already eaten".
Back in the car the radio is wasting more of my time,
this music physically hurts,
it doesn't serve,
at all.
Back at `home`,
I furiously pace.
Now it's 4PM
"Mr?..."
"It's okay, I've already eaten..."
I notice the large dent in his suit.

Sorry, I don't get it. Please explain.

Mark - it's great to have you back but I'm afraid that I don't get this one either.

Blimey! I just wrote it!
No seriously, it's abstract, capturing a mood of desolation and dislocation.

I liked this and I don't feel that I need to get it, I feel like you've captured a certain mood, that doesn't make sense to outsiders but does to the person living it, could be something out of a gritty cop movie :)
