The dented locker confirms 

he can’t fuck for toffee. 

In Tippexed scrawl. 

I know they are both beautiful. 

It makes me feel hopeless 

if the beautiful people can’t fuck right. 

I’m in the library, learning. The Promise, 

Forever, Princess Daisy, Life and Loves 

of a She-Devil, Light a Penny Candle, 

Butterfield 8, Rock Star, Riders, 

The Catcher in the Rye.
