Paean: Sunday

Semicolons are what weekends are all about, short suspension of the madness of the week.

It means late Saturday nights spent watching popcorn TV, drowsy Sunday mornings hesitant to begin, tea going cold and acres of newspaper colums, late lunch and skipping the shower, afternoon delight, half dazed siestas prickling with the noon heat, remnants of the customary Sunday-afternoon-psychadelic-dream drowned in more tea, soul music trailing with welcome footsteps over the air, sunset breeze and another cup of tea, a silenced phone line and little talk, cluttered coffeetable and lonely scrabble, acidity and the Sunday night blues.
