Around

Loneliness surrounds me
In loneliness I breathe


It is painted on my walls
and tiled on my floor
It flows from the taps
and it grows on the trees

It breeds around me
It is all I see
It is all I feel

It walks on the roads
and it flies in the skies

With every second on the clock
loneliness ticks on...

all girls

There are girls on the walls
And girls on the floor
Girls by the window and girls on the door
The place is teeming with girls everywhere
Some girls over her and more over there

Girls reading books,
girls in every corner
And girls in every nook

Perfumes, long hair, gossip, frivolous laughter
Fake smiles, air kisses, high shrieks
Handbags, slippers, rubber bands
Clutches, clips, bangles, bracelets
Pink, orange, purple, yellow

Girls all happy
Girls in tears
Girls over here
And girls over there
Girls in the canteen
Girls in the library
Girls are all I get to look at
Girls are all that look at me

Breasts bouncing, waists swaying, hair flicking
High levels of estrogen in the air

Being in a girl’s college makes me sick
Being in a girl’s college makes me the opposite of a feminist
Being in a girl’s college makes me want to kill myself
