Charlotte – Tuesday 1th November 1996

Charlotte

monster man seems to be chasing me
a kids cartoon i created
when i was buying sweets
and dreaming of five
childhood ever present
hangs around my front door
the inevitable stalker
charlotte is gone,
but she was an amazing talker
she knew me when i was young
but i told her,
that we kids can always do well
senior school gave me senior brakes
but it was a bakery with no bread
and the bullies took the cakes
shadow thing created on the wall,
is ten feet tall
and it frightens a child when they are small
the past spins on a loop
in hot and blurry dreams
wish we could repackage
our time in wonderment
holidays bought cheap in the sun
scar the mind more than the sun
the best years of our lives?
depends on your kind of fun
still i have never forgot,
all the things i did, especially charlotte

I’ve written September in my pad (see picture) but this definitely November.
