September 2023 – Me vs Brain

Poem inspired by Hayley Morris’ Me vs Brain

Looking in a mirror,
I'm more Lucozade Sport than woman.
My belly button was weighing me down.

Who was I to break the news that women
have bowels?

All I want to do is take a holiday
from Brain.
I say we quit our job
and start traveling the world.

It's adulthood that I want to raise
a complaint about.
The person you once knew is fading
into the background.

Do whatever you want.
Who cares if people think you're weird?
