iOffside

i couldn’t have looked more
less interested if i tried
really darling
of course darling
but still he insisted on explaining
the pointless offside rule
pushing the pepper pot
between two wine glasses
then looping a sugar cube over the top
offside
the pepper pot he said moved too early
i smiled
stupid pepper pot what a total numpty

ok he said let’s look at this another way
you’re at a sale in Top Shop
now he had my attention
and you’re at the counter queuing to pay
for a new dress
when this girl pushes in front of you
catches a bag her friend has thrown
to her from the other side of the shop
and slams it down on the counter
that girl is offside
no honey i said
that girl is dead
