You Can’T See Through Another Man’S Eyelids

[Frogs-can-fly]

I know my own height

I know my own knees and they’re dirty

I know my own mind and it’s broken and the gaps let in light like a disco ball.

(People like me - sometimes we speak of the things that we see

using puppetry, tea leaves and lies.)

1. Don’t cut off your face to spite someone else’s face.

2. Don’t cut off your face.

3. A boiled sweet pause in someone else’s mouth doesn’t mean its time for you to speak.

4. You are probably not as ugly as you think you are,

you are a generous buffet of crisps.

5. The minimum fill line on a kettle

is real!

Kettles break.

So do hearts

so don’t eat too much butter or fall in love with a koala (they’re not what you think they are).

When a koala breaks your heart

try to know someone from Yorkshire who’ll feed you tea and elasticate your socks.

6. Don’t be mean to fingernail frogs,

the wet effort they put into punch lines.

Frogs can fly when you don’t make them feel self conscious about it.

7. Romanticise the repetitive clunk.

8. Give your pets a heroic aura.

9. Some kids get done for saying the word azure,

some kids get done for swearing.

I come from a town where the barmaids have tits

and the fella’s are homophobic, but in nice way,

”you’re weird and you’re short and yer Mam tells me your gay but I knew your Da, and he was witty and so are you, you’re alright you love, you are. weird hair”.

10. If you’re working class you inherit anger.

If you’re middle-class you inherit embarrassment.

And a house.

11. The meek men have inherited the girth.

12. Check yourself, you might have no business sleeping with virgins.

13. If I could I’d stay in that moment where the tennis ball reaches its height and takes a breath

before remembering to fall,

inside that beat sunset feels like acceptance.

14. Unsolicited advice can make you sound like a spoon.
