Fresh Meat.


three counties
one week


peterborough 

the east coast 
it's my first day
in the office
hardly the life
of a traveller

yet I'm still

determined 
to make you
proud of me 
breaking down 
as I lose myself

in the hustle

and bustle 
of the working city  
pushing past
all the insecurity 
in a leap of faith

that's turned more

into a dive
except I land
in jetwashed portaloos 
and sodden toilet tissue 
with no seat to rest

feeling trapped 

in the middle
of nowhere with
only a smeared mirror 
and a run down sink for company
Do I battle through or just walk away?
