Love Hearts


from the ABC set Hotel

I used to convince myself that doodling your initials
was time well spent
but our relationship turned out to be a big disappointment
like the second album by The Strokes
or the Transformers films.

I used to convince myself that Googling your name
would be a good thing
I was so desperate to find out more about you
I didn’t realise how quickly a doodle of a love heart
can turn into a cock and balls.
