At first, I went against him.

But then, after a time, we understood each other.

The Ex Mr Daniels looked directly at me, sadly.

I looked at me sadly.

If only I had understood how little understanding would help in these matters.

And like the severed ape I am,

I turned away from the sun

and the flowers

and all those dancing maypole hours.

I like this. What led Mr Daniels to make such a drastic change to his life?

He had been feeling like it all meant nothing.

Was he going to work his whole life for some slob that could not even manage to keep a reciept? Might as well enjoy the sunshine. And the flowers.
