Inside Looking Out

I sit on the inside
looking out. Camping
is not for me. The great

outdoors can wait
for others to bring
themselves to it. I'd

rather sit and hide
away in here, drinking
tea and eating cake.

My T-shirted mate
is out there texting
his soon-to-be-bride.

(I expect he's sensibly lied
about what he was doing
last night). Ah, my tea and cake.
Great. I've another appetite to sate.
