21st february, 2008: government girl

this isn’t really something i adore, but it’s been stuck in my head for three days. the word “government” has nothing to do with the poem, it’s possibly rather easy to see why.

government girl

covers herself in semi colons
goes to punctuate some dreams
but they’ve all been here before
getting crowded round her scene

with textbook talk and clinical manner
scalpel smile cuts passionate lines
inspired take with a gaping maw
the blandest suits for the darkest times

i’m really seriously angry today, because people keep walking over me and expecting me to take it. i want to make sure that shit doesn’t happen, because if it does, i’m not going to be able to concentrate and i only have 9 weeks of actual lessons left. throwing glue in someone’s hair, btw, is not a good way to protect your already rather tarnished school record. it took me three washes to get the glue out of my clothes and hair, such a nightmare. revision classes are getting on top of me hugely, i can’t believe half of this stuff, it’s mad. by may i have my study leave-i mean, what? it’s all happening so fast, i can’t believe it. i’m rather glad the year’s almost over though (in terms of school year), i hope it’ll be better when i go into sixth form.

small music pimping, whilst i remember-glory box by Portishead is a necessary for your iPod. i downloaded it yesterday, and it’s brilliant. plus, more great music coming from Britain! that’s a lovely novelty.

sometimes, i worry that i’ve lost the plot.
