It’s 3 hours before early, And I’m already feeling guilty, Though I know it’s gonna hit me, I’ll drag out the calm before the storm, My mam says don’t get too attached, She knows I fall in love so fast, When it’s clear that it won’t last, But what can I...

Liz Cady Stanton had the signature to beat, So complex and beautiful and yet quite neat, And with 99 beside her, It still wasn’t hard to find her, Hope and anger in the ink and on the streets, He has deprived, he has withheld, He has usurped, he has compelled...

I spent a dirty weekend practicing my French Rosy cheeked I saw My limitations there in evidence When I invited Frank and you, Back to mine for a mange tout When I meant ménage à trois You laughed so hard you cracked Your chin against the bar This statemen...

1978, a poem born in New York state, A hire car, the license plate read FL502, Destinations muddled in a constant petty struggle, If I stop to fill the tank then that's the last I'll see of you, Cause you're no good at reading maps, And I'm so bad at kee...

We met when we were seven/Now we’re both in year eleven and it scares me that you act like it’s a joke/When they tell you off for smoking/It’s tearing me apart/So I just drew your name inside a heart. Maureen/School is totally boring/These GCSEs really get...

Someone caught a bullet in the underpass And I heard rumours On the street about these freaky gangs But this is monochromatic No, I can't stand it They're in the shadows Lurking in the shadows Yeah So now I'm whispering a prayer This tepid hell I know it wel...

I’ve never been any good at poetry, And I stumble over words from time to time, Tempted by a hangnail I once flayed my middle finger, Butchered cuticles, stain the page like wine, Count the digits. How unsuitable are mine? When it rains, well it really fuc...

I’ve been messed up in my head, Since I finished watching threads, When I couldn’t sleep for weeks, Seeking shelter in the sheets. Have I always been like this? Like a toothy teenage kiss? Like the Labrador we miss? Like the tape hiss? But at a party...

Inverted pentagrams and crucifixes Weirdos at the gates Belief in ancient Gods whose rise From solemn slumber we await Cities laid to waste, terror at the seas Armageddon now, Cosmic Misery. With the cover of darkness We sought out the scene There were leave...

You tried to play it cool, When the blue lights started flashing, But that calm demeanour slipped, On the day that you got nicked, Cut me open and you’ll see, That same anxiety runs all the way through me, That stick of rock you never licked. All the s...

You called in sick for work, Leaving some details unspoken, And spent the day in bed, Cause your beating heart was broken, Paracetamol and Countdown, On mute on the TV, Thinking “have I always been like this?” The arithmetic repeats, Mulling over your achieve...

Left the office feeling frantic, Tangled up in the semantics, ‘Too polite’ or ‘sycophantic’, Never learned how to relax, So uptight, Chrissy took us for a ride, Down on Sauciehall Street, What it is to be alive, With the whole world at your feet, But...

The doctor put his hands around my neck/I’ve never been so close to choking on myself/He said “you need a rest”/like I need religion/my grandmother prays more me/Saint Bede went missing/I skipped P.E. for a year. I’m mostly bones, I’m mostly liquid, I’m most...

Fragments of a memory outlined for posterity Tears and arguments Something to do with a missing bag Of diet pills and super glue He waits outside the offy Cause he doesn't have ID And as I recall this evening ends badly Soaked in gin and Listerine Are you sti...

From the moment that we met It’s been obvious to me that you’re adept, At finding answers to hard questions, I’m far too squeamish, How can someone be this calm? When confronted with a crime scene That looks like an abattoir? I do not know, Searching for ev...

I said “I don’t believe in marriage, It’s a Patriarchal scam”. You said “meet me at the station, Train departs at 6am”, I packed my bags and left my politics in bed, And I waited on the platform, With your smile stuck in my head. So we went through the...

The autumn forecast’s looking dismal again, This year I’ll spend November in the house, August sort of stifled your potential didn’t it? It’s coyness boy that caught you out, I know you wish for fireworks to light your July sky, I was the dampest box of...

Cold tofu turkey's growing mould, This house is bloody freezing cold, This po-mo stuff is nice, but it's irrelevant, (To the way I feel right now), Me and this old heart of mine, We've been through this a good few times, But that doesn't mean I don't apprecia...

Yeah, when the lights come on/And we all shuffle home/There’s an emptiness I feel when I’m alone/But I’m working hard and trying not to moan. It is killing me to think that everyone will move away/I’m still here hanging on and adjusting everyday/It’s the inc...

I was hanging out by the freezers, When I saw you sitting there, Getting bollocked by your supervisor, But you didn’t seem to care. And when it came time to check-out, You stood beside my til, I said “retail is the pits” And then I scanned your anxiety...
