Polaroid

 

I came back home. I mucked about.

I hope I never work it out.

 

I doubt there’s much we have to do.

I doubt there’s anythin’ to prove.

 

It’s all a bit of wastin’ time

and pickin’ sweets along the vine.

 

Plus on the brink of full collapse,

go easy, bruh, on runnin’ laps.

 

Remember, now, you really can

just laugh at how it’s hit the fan.

 

But all that for another day.

For now, I love you Adelaide.

Even

 

We’re all just trying our best,

 

even those 


attempting 


to wreck us.


And hey, that includes, after all,


ourselves.

Then one day

 

Then one day,

you wake up

and realise you’re no one,

and no one cares,

especially women.

 

You figure, well,

lads are wearing heels these days

to make the losing easier  

—men who couldn’t claim a thing

are claiming women’s bathrooms.

 

But, no, you won’t do that.

 

There’s a wall of solid brick

that used to be mist.

You wake up,

you realise you’re no one,

and no one cares.

 

Ominously,

you hardly care yourself.
