used to eavesdrop on my parents’ room a lot
once i heard them say they would give me my father’s nokia 7250
i was so happy that i went into my parents’ room,
made sure no one was looking,
and kissed my father’s steely blue nokia 7250
my father saw me and left infuriated
i was never given the phone

my mother always tells me
i used to be a very annoying/bad tempered child
until when i was 2 or 3 i ate a lemon yoghurt in the alcazar of seville
and became very relaxed/sweet child for the rest of my life

they made me close my eyes
and put my finger into this warm, tight and soft thing
they asked me what it was
i said: “an anus”
but in reality it was a hot lemon half

i was sitting on the sand at the beach
and i saw a shiny, transparent thing
i touched it and it disappeared instantly
i was astonished and scared
like a baby in a little albert experiment.
i kept this first supernatural experience a secret
it wasn’t until years later that i learnt
that jellyfish dissolve in the sun

there are certain shades of pink
bright enough to kill
a healthy human being

needs no shades to outlive
the sincerity of togepi
the cuteness of gramsci

meet me in the library
we’ll have some bubble tea
then i’ll tell you a new secret
and you’ll eat something sweet
