Forgive me for not properly introducing myself. It didn't occur to me that I needed to but clearly it was a bit rude. I apologise.
Hi. I am anyone. I am every person who passes you by, every person you have only briefly met, every person you didn't even notice. I am every person because I carry a story and that story carries a narrative - be it prose or poem or a grainy photograph. I am every person who carries an unlikely story.
So look around and wave because I'm standing right there, waiting to meet you. I hope to see you soon and when we do meet, you might realise that I am you.
Talking under the covers
we talked about where we'd go
and how we'd go. Standing on edges
of platforms on London's Underground,
walking ignorantly into Oxford Street
(not looking both ways);
we talk about what we'll leave
and never get back;
we talk about families and friends
and who we will hurt the most.
We talk about us
and how we think we will go.
