Twist and turn

Should I tidy up

Or should I play

Or, for the sake of balance

Should I do a bit of both


Meanwhile I post a photograph

To Instagram, and also

Oh I don’t know what to say

Not quite my ex that’s for certain


Anne, once our next door neighbour

Said that she did not care for the term

Partner, nor lover either actually

Why not just boyfriend or girlfriend


Should I give up trying to tidy up

And while I am at it stop playing

Because I’m tying myself in knots

And maybe you also
