Suspended Animation from ALIENATHAN by Nathan Evans

The bin in my kitchen needs emptying,
the plates in my sink need washing,
the floor in my bedroom needs hoovering,
the sheets on my bed need changing
but not today, not today—
I'll close my eyes and make them go away.

A bill from my bank needs balancing,
a call on my phone needs taking,
another red letter needs opening,
a knock at my door needs answering
but not today, not today—
I'll close my eyes and make them go away.

Somewhere there’s a life I should be living,
somewhere there’s a wife I should be loving,
somewhere there’s a god I should be praising,
somewhere there’s a wage I should be earning
but not today, not today—
I'll close my eyes and make them go away.
