Venn Diagram

I have lost you to sleep again. Sleeping as we do on opposite sides of a venn diagram I read the time in shadows on the wall The shards of light through the slats on your window I ease myself from under your languid arm, Fumble on my boots and hear you breathe through your alarm I disarm it for you, You rarely heed it anyway I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream, School bell ring messing up the play A note, Penned clumsily in this century's type-ruined hand Saying gone down the shops for a walk I'll bring back some sandwiches And then I kiss your face, the black and the blue tie it into my laces, I don't want the wander blocking up the view I stumble out into the afternoon. Still salty from drink and the late night pool I'll be gone an hour at most, You will be more diagonal I've a head on me in the post, I know, a castle swallowed in the swell.
