Dawn 22 My ears were blessed by Lucy There's a pigeon in my window Oh there's a nest in my window I don't get as much light in this flat I'm not as angry today --- There are all kinds of lives I was meant to live There's one where I finished my political science degree and I never met Sara Ismail or learned about art, that's probably the one where I did jump off the roof There's one where I married Ozzy, and we lived in the countryside here. And we had children. And we were happy sometimes and very miserable most of the time. We turned into our parents. There's one in California where I work in an Arab pizzeria and I have uncle strangers fretting over me because I'm too educated to be in such a mess. I have lots of friends but I worry and feel guilty about my family all the time. In this life, I barely managed to get an art degree. I thanked the pizzeria uncles and I picked Cairo. I exhausted myself with my family and I won't feel guilty about them anymore. I watched Ozzy become happy and then too miserable for words. And then get on a plane to live and sometimes raise sheep in Australia. This timeline has the most therapy :) I feel like another fork is coming up |
