Rageen gave me a Vimto lolly,

two

because it was my birthday.

The shiny purple reminds

me of the shiny blue resin

Chris gave me -

a leftover

he’d made into a keyring.

I tied it to my window frame

It hangs above my bed.

The library is warm today.

Four of us sitting by the windows

In the morning, till lunch,

we sat on the grass

and laid down on the cold,

wet, sunstriped earth.

I read my jonathon davidson

that really belongs to Tom

and thought about the chipshop poem

and how much I like the weather.
