Sour Amnesiac

Clambering down the stairs of B block

As if I wasn\'t watching, waiting for the lock

On those searing memories to defrost fully,

The way you wait 5 minutes before indulging in the creamy

Notes of coconut from your favourite dairy-free ice cream.

 

A greeting is exchanged.

You ask how my academic year is going.

I spit out the sour amnesiac lies, feigned seeds of hatred

In hopes I could learn to be sweet once more, but nothing

Leaves my mouth other than a

 

\"Good, what about you?\"
