Soul

"'Have you got any soul?' a woman asks the next afternoon. That depends I feel like saying; some days yes, some days no. A few days ago I was right out; now I've got loads, too much, more than I can handle, I wish I could spread it a bit more evenly, I want to tell her, get a better balance, but I can't seem to get it sorted. I can see she wouldn't be interested in my internal stock control problems though, so I simply point to where I keep the sort I have, right by the exit, Just next to the blues."
