Note to Self
water and antifreeze
sucked from a coolant tank with a straw
tastes unpleasant

there's a deadline
for clearing out your room
from the student hostel.
It's in two hours
and I'm miles away
with no form of transport
other than a board with wheels on.
Not a skateboard;
that would be too useful --
a literal square board with castors;
the kind you use for heavy pot plants.
There's too much stuff to carry;
and the time to get home and borrow a car
is giving me anxiety.
I'm tempted to say 'sod it all'
and not collect my belongings.
I have my phone and bank card
and all my personal files
are stored in the cloud.
Time to start anew.
