how I spent my birthday
I spent my birthday riding
escalators in a department
store
my eyes
are always brighter
when it rains
and I always scald my tongue on porridge
and always, every morning, forget
eat it again
perhaps I should find a new breakfast?
Posture is one of those things
it feels impossible to get right.
I can’t
remember the last time I
had rice pudding and liked it
but I’m open to new experiences
I hate change
My favourite novel hasn’t been written yet
- I once overheard this and wanted to punch someone,
specifically the person who said it
instead I just
rolled my eyes
and I lost
my
scarf
on the tube
Red.
