Potato chips, Prawn Crackers.

After months,
On the coach ride home.
Dragging back rolls of carpet and
Elastofoam.

At her apartment, in her room,
Lay stacks of potato chips and prawn crackers.
She sent them to me in boxes
Marked: Prawn Fried Shrimp.

It was our analogy of crazy behaviour,
At eighteen.
After ornamenting streets with mouth-blown Pyrex
And vocal poetry.
