Paris metro - Line 11, Pyrénées to Jourdain

Wishing I could play piano

I plan, one day,
to get a tattoo done on my ankle.
It'll be a Celtic symbol,
or maybe a sun.
My sock can hide it
on days when I need to be professional.
I'll be a part-time rebel.
It's better than none.

Part-time rebel

The shower scene

The chipped red mug
that you drink your coffee from,
I think I've lost count
of how long we've had it for.
And you seem to break the spines
of the books that you love,
but it's from reading them - all of them - so much.

Now I'm not saying that
we should look for the cracks,
the cracks in our relationship
or anything like that,
but if the edges end up frayed
or the paint starts to flake,
just remember - that's the beauty of age.
