i do this
i trip on footpath cracks, not a real trip,
just the one where the bottom of your foot
hits and scuffs
i walk into people when i turn corners
i mis-time the psplck when i kiss
someone on the cheek
i count out the wrong change
in crowded supermarkets
i try to open locked pub doors,
everyone inside looking,
mouths near beers
i leave blobs of conditioner
in the tops of my ears
i get pimples
at the most inappropriate times
i often answer "how are you?"
when people ask "how are you?"
my face goes red when i drink red wine
i never know when girl
is interested in me
it takes long chats
and a phone call or 40
i have ghostly dreams in which
i am walking down the street
with my fly emphatically undone
i been known to walk dog poo
through a neighbour's house
i copy people's dancing styles
on the odd occasions i dance
when i blow my nose
little bits of tissue sometimes remain above my mouth
when people ask me about a movie
i should have seen but haven't
i often say i have seen it
then when they go into a story about
a certain scene
i nod knowingly but am frantically hoping
they're not making it all up to catch me out
i say very inappropriate things
at work drinks get-togethers
i've bought endless items from shops
simply because the assistant was cute
i've come very close to losing my
speedos in the surf (several times)
i've tried to put a condom on backwards
i've written extensive notes for myself
when i've spoken to a girl on the phone to the first time
i got my baggage searched one day
at sydney airport
the pockmarked officer smirking
at my rainbow patterned underpants
which came in a 12-pack
which mum had bought me for christmas
the year before
i do that
i do all that and more
and will probably continue to do so
forever.

Adam, i know what u mean. About so much. But just one question.... what is "psplck"?
hello Caiti. that is the noise you make with your mouth when you give someone a kiss on the cheek, you know... sort of a variation of "mwuh", or something.
