Cold & Grey

I conceived my first poem last night, on the way home.
I didn't write it down.
Now I can't remember it.

My car still doesn't have a heater.
This morning I wore a jumper,
a jacket,
a scarf,
a coat,
and gloves.
And I put a hot water bottle on my lap
to keep me warm.

Today is grey.
Bleak. Cold.

I have lost sight of the good
fun
things
in life.

And can only see grey sameness.

I don't mean to be impolite, but can I have a crack at topping that? Our coffee machine is busted and I have made two trips across town to fix it, to no avail. How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of these trips across town.
