memories can distract you from the moment
on late night quiz tv i once saw
a woman in a squirrel outfit hit a pinata with a sword
when i was maybe 6 i won a playground fight
by getting my mate stuck in a bin
i once saw chico on a train.
i pointed and laughed. good times
i once slept for 32 straight hours.
is it weird to envy your former self?
i once ate the most delicious bowl of prawns
in a cuban restaurant in east berlin
i once pulled a girl by pouring lemonade over her head.
i was 14 ... and unattractive
i once bought an argent album on tape for 20p
- when i listened to it i felt ripped off
i had a friend when i was 17
who kept b&w photos of the poll tax riots in her locker
i once got goosed by a stranger
on a school trip to the barbican
in 1996 i got so sunburnt
my shoulders were oozing pus for a week
i once shattered a maraca
because i preferred the sound of it hitting the floor
"i'm a pacifist
prepared to make exceptions for myself"
i spent hours painting stripes of blue & black lipstick
smudged on the first pintglass
i once threw away a poster of val ium
to prove to my gf i fancied her more (i didn't)
i spent my 22nd birthday sat alone in a dark house
eating cheese toasties
i used to amuse myself by singing smiths songs
in the style of type o negative
on gcse results day i got up early
and had left the school before anyone else arrived
i used to do tweets ending
"- memories can distract you from the moment"
