my parents paid for me to go on their car insurance for two weeks. it costed £70. it's a two litre mondeo estate. not a beginners car. it's a big engine so a big price in terms of insurance. they also let me drive it to brighton and basically anywhere i wanted. and cos i used it so much they had to start using the train to get where they wanted. they are sometimes too kind. so as a little thank you, I DREW THEM THIS CARD!

in summer i watch the ice melt. i guess that's enough to leave anybody feeling guilty. i like it when the clouds are grey on days like this. they look more two-dimensional than white clouds do. just pasted upon the pastel sky. they look more superimposed. they make you feel like everything is fake. that nothing up there, nor down here has the ability to mean anything. i like it most when it's windy. when i'm in a coat and drinking cold beer. being hit by wind. the cold air giving me the sensation of pissing in a winter forest at night time. the little wriggle of the spine as the flow of urine starts to cease. the body shiver as you shake the last dribbles of piss from your penis. i love that shudder. i like it when the sun comes from behind the grey clouds. the false hope for the school children on their weekends or holidays. running out to the streets to play, only to race back inside moments later, dodging the ice cold rain drops. standing in hallways being dried by grandparents. towelled dressing gowns. i don't believe that clouds don't move. on windy days, i see them in races. like ducklings in puddles. or ducks in ponds. the dinosaur shaped cloud, beaten by the three-legged dog in wellingtons. i like being alone in the country because nobody can hear you grate your teeth. they can't see your thoughts. you can just hear the trees, and they sound like the tide, striking a shore of fossils and eggshells.

sometimes ambition seems so useless. sometimes it seems like the most sensible thing in the world is to be lonely. not lonely, but alone. alone, both in terms of company and communication. you should avoid speaking to, being around, reading about, or even observing society. there is so much corruption. it's better to die alone than to die beside the devil.

sometimes i feel more empty than hollow. if you tap a hollow man, you get a mahogany reply, a deep and cordless echo. but sometimes you just couldn't even tap me. there'd be nothing to tap. and even if you managed to tap the nothing, you'd just find a cracked egg and a swollen embryo, bloated by the sunday heat.
