leaving paris

into traffic:
glacial jam
leaving
the doorknob poles behind
leaving
a trail of lime green snot

while in paris we were both on the cusp of illness. we were snorting first defence a lot. it just about got us through. paris was very fun. there are daft poles with doorknobs on them all over the place.

dear parisiennes, what are your knobs for? why so wonky?

i love holiday poems. this holiday was the biggest rush. i barely had time to get my phone out my pocket. we were cycling around paris, cafes, cocktails, sightseeing, dinner. i bought a packet of fags. wish i hadn’t as despite not having bought another pack since i’m back on the nicotine replacement therapy.
