Days by Philip Larkin

T.

It feels like a Friday. And everything is eerily quiet.

Days

Philip Larkin

What are days for?

Days are where we live.

They come, they wake us

Time and time over.

They are to be happy in:

Where can we live but days?

Ah, solving that question

Brings the priest and the doctor

In their long coats

Running over the fields.
