My brain just unfurled itself and started writing shitty poetry.


Some days, i know that you want me
I know it like the corn in the fields knows that some days the sun will be too hot for it to bear, & they will tuck in their ears and frizzle and wilt underneath its animal gaze
And some days the rain will come & bleed the sky into their waiting gaping mouths.
I know it like glances across the table when you didn't need to get me coffee but oh you got me coffee anyway
And it's a long long time since we saw each other & our eyes can't find any other objects except our eyes
I know it like sandwiches
if i were a starving man in the desert & there hadn't been a sign of civilisation for days & then suddenly but suddenly suddenly pret a manger on every single fucking corner
and i'm ordering a baguette maybe two because why not and go on let's just be naughty
I know it like i know you know, like you know i know that you know and both of us know that both of us know; enough
and like raindrops on roses i know you know that you are all of my favourite things
I know it like the ground knows a ruin, shot through it all with stone but still standing
I know it like enough now that’s enough
