Friendship
When you're not there
I look down at my hand
and the silver band
that shows you care

Quizzing
Fresh from the glory of winning
Brain aching from the struggle of thinking

Oxford Street, November
Nostalgic
We look up
in childlike awe
at the Christmas lights
now corporate and paid for

Don't panic
The calm before the storm of Christmas
Panic buying
Presents, gifts
Trying to keep control of purse strings
Who do you love
and what to give?

Trapped
Hearing your footsteps
You walk to and fro
Someone important?
You've nowhere to go

Travel Light
On the tube
Two backpacks
is a bad idea
Unless you have
Two backs
to wear them

Yawn
Trying to regain clarity
Brain dulled by stale office air
Numbed by forced group hilarity

Bookworm
Curled
around her book
Her world
is full of dreams
so huge
that one small girl
in one large world
cannot contain
her thoughts unfurled

Instagram searching
I don't scan Instagram
in search of the perfect skin
taunt myself with beautiful bodies
look at clothes I won't be seen dead in
My reason for haunting this site
Is easy to comprehend
I'm looking for a cute dog
A prime example of man's best friend

Shopping mall (iii)
Young mothers shove buggies
Mobiles clutched to their faces
Their toddler faces bear traces
of food and fears long forgotten

Shopping mall (ii)
Loud music surrounding
Discordantly drowning
A children's small choir
(Their voices shout higher)
Proud parents smiling proudly
...Passers by talking loudly

Shopping mall
Late night
Security seize the fight
Shove outside
Then back away
Not paid enough to join the fray
