SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER.

-

-

IT IS WINTER IN MELBOURNE

THIS IS UNAVOIDABLE.

-

IN THE NIGHTS I SLEEP ON MY MATTRESS

AND IN A SLEEPING BAG.

I PUT A BIG ORANGE SHEET OVER ME

AND THE SLEEPING BAG.

THE SHEET IS A VERY RELAXED TENT

AND THIS IS A VERY DEPRESSING CAMPING ADVENTURE.

- 

I WASHED MY CLOTHES FOUR DAYS AGO,

HUNG THEM ON THE CLOTHES LINE AND LEFT THEM

TO THE VACUUM OF SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE MAY.

-

WHEN I BRING THESE CLOTHES IN I WILL WEAR THEM.

I WILL SMELL LIKE THE WEATHER.

-

IN JUNE I WILL LIE IN MY CLOTHES

AND IN THE SLEEPING BAG.

IN JUNE I WILL BE ALONE TO EVERYONE.

-

-

IN LATE MAY I AM THINKING OF HIBERNATION.
