short forms 5th January 2017

inclined
to be hopeful
about her father's life
despite evidence of despair.
Hometown.

tits and sparrows
clinging to the mahonia
damp paper chains

morning start
Lu to the station
then get petrol
I'll forego the long traffic queue
along the Derby Road, thanks.

breakfast
produces instant crash
when I have to go out

I knew it was a bad idea
to eat marmite on toast
I knew better.

I should stop eating.

An hour in the gym. Overeats.
