Charlie is now Shirley
She wears a tiny timex watch
Diamanté
And drinks a skinny coffee
In the costa
By the cinema
That does the foot long hot dog
And cold burnt onions.
My older brother
Is pansexual
He’s screwing the tv remote
And the third stair.
It squeaks and keeps me awake.
Mum is a vegan
All bread no dog
I have sex with my sister
On Tuesdays after her art class
She’s a lesbian really
I have to tuck it in and dance
Whilst she watches
And texts her mates.
Dad is doing Shirley
In the alley that smells of pee
And vinegar,
Beside the library
Where I wrote this
By the painting of The Scream
And the sign requesting silence
On the wall.
