In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Inside out – 100 words

April 28, 2023 By Ellen

Inside out

Once when expecting a son,

I met a woman who was also pregnant

and I thought goodness, her bump is huge,

I won’t be spherical like her for ages

then someone took our photo and I realised

I was Jupiter to her Pluto.

Now that baby has a beard and a job,

but I am still astonished by the difference

between my inside and my outside.

The treacherous mirror shows me lines and chins and

a bottom shape that comes with age,

people (though never more than once) give me seats

and call me dear, to which I say ‘hell no’
