haircut late
sheepish
because i cut it myself
last time
on an unequal shelf
five friends drawing a map
of a distant landscape
after a data-free universe
with magical puffins
in pastels and pencils
it is perhaps the first day i enjoyed leaving the house
in a month
or two
recently, i wonder if it is all a bit like cycling in the rain
it's fun when you're already drenched
for a while, anyway
but it doesn't last forever
either subject
and how long can i continue this seasonal sulking
but well, is it just that
or dashed on the pavement
new road surface
new road markings
same road
other things said
suzanne treister
waterlogged pigeons
like my new bra itches
i want to tear it off
but at least it fits
