Selling Daylight – Written October 2003 (Aged 28)

Selling Daylight

too many genres
not easy to find
too many subplots
an uneasy mind
the return slip is pleasant
they don’t want to be unkind
but that book i wrote,
it’s my life
everything they say,
wrong or right,
it’s just me,
as in life, and as in what i write
they are looking to sell daylight
i just offer the night
it’s an ambitious work
well, that is my life
too many genres
and we cannot work out –
exactly what is going on
i just do not know where to go
or how to let go,
but this pain, it’s one i cannot show

James Garratt – October 2003
