Smug (sonnet 26-02-24)

being with you is so great
it's like having a cheque for a million quid
right there in your back pocket

like, you get caught in a deluge
and someone says something mean about your hair
and you feel sad about it

but then you remember
you've got a cheque for a million quid
right there in your pocket

and the weight of the world
loosens into a shrug
and i think

what's a drop of bitter rain, eh?
what's a bit of twig and pebble?

Sonnet 16-02-24

your love is actually the best though
that special under the counter shit, bro
the stuff you can't even find in store
the stuff that they make you work for
they're not just giving it away
not even for pay
coz it has to be equal
worth a bunch of sequels
  i catch every one of your popcorn thoughts
  and you mine
