I have realised that I cannot afford to live in my old creaky
peeling
sunny happy plant filled flat.
So I have done it;
I have messaged my landlord and I am moving out at the end of the month.
When I was younger my mum and dad called me their wee bag lady.
They used to give me a plastic shopping bag so that I could pick up everything I wanted to keep from the street.
I picked up silvery chewing gum wrappers,
discarded objects,
hundreds of shiny yellow dandelion heads.
As I got older I began to horde everything and now I live in a room the equivalent of a junk shop.
I collect clocks and cameras and suitcases
and sticks and sandy shells and old musty books and woolly blankets and framed pictures .
I middle names.
I am now going back to being a bag lady.
