She loves my skin:
Racism turned off.
She hates my skin:
Racism Molotov!
(from a series of poems in collaboration with Clare Standish. Remind me to learn how to write poetry before I go any further.)

The human race sure has a penchant for classification. Racism as a switch that one can turn on or off – interesting notion.

There’s plenty of evidence that human beings are bonkers (English idiom for crazy)!

That’s good. I’ve used up an entire box of tissues today. Not sleeping well at the new place is wreaking havoc on my immune system.

Clare proposed it in the comments here. I’ve written about seven or eight poems, but that’s all that’s happened so far. A tad frustrating to be honest.
