kids tend to like me
my therapist said
because i am
weird in the head
i feel things intensify
or barely at all
but you know that i love
the slow, sad songs
a masked dancer pirouettes
down the cycle path
which is then autocorrected
to psychopath
i’ve seen her again since
wearing her cowboy hat
and i’m jealous but happy
that she has that
it didn’t occur to me
to wear an actual mask
an invisibility cape
draped on for the dance
and the thing about moving home is that, as well as organising your new home, you also have to sort out things with the old home. changes address. get a new doctor (best add that to my to do list). get all the last stuff out the flat, clean the place. and work / usual life commitments continue unabated.
the love epochal. n.n. benn
