Hey John! How Are Things My Friend?
Colin Baker



Hey John!
How are things my friend?
There I was the other day,
sitting in that same
cafe, with its lathered-up windows,
and at the same sticky
table, and I got to thinking about you.
Remember when we had that
discussion about whether or not that bloody
sticky table existed?
Christ! When I think about it,
we've had some great discussions.
Like a ship's mast in a storm
you were that day; rocking back and forth
on your chair...Remember? And then you declared;
'This table's a product of my mind!
When I leave the cafe,
the table leaves too'
And I remember saying;
'OK....if mind makes
the world and everything in it,
try driving to work one morning,
on the wrong side of the road
and see what happens'
Hell! We had a good laugh at that...Remember?
Anyway John.
How are things my friend?
I've not heard from you in ages.
