NEW SHEETS
Here I am
propped up
on affected red satin pillows
I feel like cheap lingerie
un-ironed,
and hence creased
as if stuffed
into a back trouser pocket.
Here I am
folded around my imperfections
like paper loves stone
tucked in, I cough and sneeze
fart and fidget
my foot kicking out
from under the duvet
in a bid for freedom
never quite achieved.
