so to bed

so.  there i was in bed.  reading.  

and over the pages i could see

all these patterns and textures.  

and the mundane became interesting.  

i started taking mental snap shots

and the crazy thing is that i couldn't help myself.

it was like i was seeing my stuff differently.

i just had to grab my canon.

and silly mental crazy woman thoughts

kept going through my head

but i couldn't think of 

any good reason to not take photos.

close ups of duvet patterns.

small pillows cast to the empty side of the bed.

colour shots of titles and patterns.

different angles and shades.

water damaged bedside lamp bottom 

and cheap dusty clock.

in colour and in monochrome.

and silly shots of old and new.

old wood grain and plastic frames

curly shades and lacey twirls

and bloody mobile phones

and portable phones and lamps alight

and bed end knobs

and aubergine walls

and i laughed 

and wished that everyone

could look at their lives

this way

especially at bed time.

just take the meaningless overall picture

and chop it down to snap shots of this

and that.

some in colour.

some in monochrome.

some in focus.

some slightly blurred.

and you might just find

like i did

that it all makes

some crazy sense.
