crumbs
of

smudging
the
stiff
shoulders
of
the

it's

mother_nature
still
has
a
sense
of
humour,
even
if
my
subconscious
seems
to

its

raze
the
cruelest prank
the
universe
could
have
played
on

today
would
have
been
to
give

a
decent night's
sleep
for
the

a
half
years

alas,
no

The
only
April
Fool's
Day
I
remember
vividly
happened
when
I
was
about
15.
I
got
up
in
the
morning
to
find
that
my
parents
had
swapped identities.
My
mom
was
wearing
my
father's
bathrobe
and
drinking
out
of
his
favourite
coffee
cup
.
My
dad
was
wearing
my
mom's
pyjamas
and
reading
her
newspaper.
My
brother
and
I
joined
in
.
We
put
on
each
other's
clothes
, adopted
each
other's
mannerisms
.
It
was
funny
.
And
then
it
wasn't
.
At
some
point
things
turned
sinister.
We
started
acting
out
each
other's flaws
and
failings, poking
fun
at
tender
places
and
dragging
them
into
the
light
.
At
least
one
of
us
started
crying
.
We
slunk
away
to
put
our
own
clothes
back
on
.
We
slipped
into
the
creased heap
of
our
own
characters
and
carried
our
bruised
hearts
through
the
rest
of
the
day
.
