Was in a funk when I woke up this morning...wanted a holiday, needed a holiday. Felt dog tired, weary.
Wanted to sleep and never get up, was wishing the entire world away...and there at the back of my mind lurked the thought of going to work, the flag hoisting.
Struggled out of bed and made it to work just in time...thanks to the bus that dropped me off right at the doorstep.
On my way back, had to walk...was passing the ground where they had the "parade", heard the National Anthem being sung...voices in my head told me I should stand still-in respect...saw some cops sitting on their bikes laughing away...and continued walking, with thoughts of the possibility of getting arrested...daring anybody to stop me from walking or commenting on my disrespect for the Anthem. Reached home without incident.
