How I Know
I am all
grown up
I am unsure
what colour shoes
to wear
and it’s the fact
there is a choice
that leaves me
overwhelmed
‘no’
she says
‘that’s how you know
you are bourgeois cunt’
Crumbs
for Carra
he always
finds a way
to leave them
on the table
by the chair
in your brain
crumbs of intrigue
crumbs leading back
to Bacco
& wanderlust
crumbs
of baccy
ready
for the garden mix
wrapped up
& welcome
reminders
from the night before
the bits
& pieces
that allow you
to become
unfuckwithable
Just Goss
I wash my hands
with the perfumed cum
& think about
my brother
pulling
a whitey
in this very
bathroom
almost four years ago
to the day
about how
we slammed pints
from the moment he landed
& burned our way well
into the stash
before
striking out
for the burger bar
moments after the waitress
had brought out
glass boots of weissbier
he locked himself
behind the sliding door
& spent the next twenty minutes
talking to himself in the mirror
In 2022
you can watch
war atrocities
while you spread
peanut butter
over your morning
hope
you can suffocate
your weariness
with hot coffee
& a strong
dose
of cat comedy
you can feel
tempted
to ask
yourself
about
important truths
before instead
flicking your thumb
an ocean of death
safely scrolled away
in your pocket
