You dust down a book of microwave recipes and Instagram it, with kisses. This year was the year of the hashtag. It was the year I tried to smile at strangers, but as you say, it gets embarrassing. This year was the year Space Jam’s original 1996 website became a meme, the year I fell asleep in the food court after eating chips. It was the year everyone flew to Honolulu, where the flights were cheap.

On one smartphone, gambling. On another, porno. On another, sexts but mostly: grocery lists. For those in front of the television it’s a real thrill. An earlier contestant iced on a third tier, but the cake fell. Delicious. Everybody eats, eats, eats.



Wine o'clock

1.
About your love interest you state
'mansplainer' but with too much
care. We are like, don't go there.
He'll creature your successes,
marsupialise them

Remember that month the filibuster
knocked our ovaries for a spare.
Laughing, no. Then a GP spoke
of the spike in cancer checks
post- a TV show's cautionary
season end

2.
Whatever happened with that
online guy, the one who was
a touch conversational snooze.
Still sleeping? Dare for you to say
that he can twerk at your ass,
that you want him to

Tell us though, your girlfriends
so do you fantasise about acts
of cannibalism. A chimera
thrown to the wolves is just meat
to be eaten
