Another poem inspired by my housemate’s weekend activities, writing sitting, baking, as my iPhone screen overheated. I love today’s Factoid.

Round 2: winter sports

admittedly it’s been over 30 years
since i last donned the sprigs 
& dashed out into the mud
as bewildered teenage boy
in the middle of his gap year 
on his way to university 
still terribly uncertain 
of his own personality, his destiny 

however 

one thing for certain
neverever sunburned
watching or playing 
winter sports before 
like i did today 
sitting on the sidelines
tentatively keeping score
through the heat haze

Day 20 – TIL I’ve gone back to a fact I found a couple of days that I just couldn’t let go.

*bling*

one page told me
pirates believed
gold earrings 
improved 
their eyesight

& i didn’t seek 
corroboration
because i so want
this to be true
i’d be crushed if it wasn’t
