cold rain
a street full of soggy cardboard
Fresher's week

cold rain
makes me appreciate the heat
from the hot water overspill.
It's too early to put the heating on
and I've been living in gym gear.
I look like a sponge pudding
in an old lady's stocking,
and I still can't bear to look in a mirror
but at least I'm trying
and those calories
won't count themselves.
Perhaps the shivering
will help me lose weight.
