You’re a fond acquaintance
You make up the majority of my thought collection. Not sure congratulations are in order
You have a book proving my persistence? Shows I should probably cease
For a minute there I lost myself. Apparently 59% of girls want girth
Fuck that indeed. Smoked haddock
Burning myself with cigarettes flicks me right on
You asked. No you didn’t
Your birth gave me girth
In my womb sucking on legs
God yes, sweating for a cigarette
In London? Please say you are
Just slightly lonely in this place of pretenders. Feel a big need to see someone with no hidden agenda. Thought of you and decided with a text I should send ya, this should just end a this should just end a
I met him last night. His nose isn’t so pointy but his face is round. It was the most awkward meeting. Such a shame
This is not free form poetry or monologue. It's a collection of messages I have received over the last seven years. They are anonymous and abstracted - just a collection of words in time. They remind me of growing and change.

Are you in London too? Oxford was beginning to scare me
I’m sorry for my bad company. It’s disgusting. Probably seeking attention or something
I’m feeling a little overwhelmed with our level of communication recently. I might even consider moving you back into my friends list
You really know how to shoot yourself in the foot. You can stay where you are
There is no fun in that. You would be pretty lonely on the friends list anyway
You know that hurts my feelings
Tough love is easier than normal
You’re rarely comfortable if I remember you correctly

Are you or are you not? In London. My body aches for you
I’m sorry you don’t like them, but I’m about to call. It will be brief so brace yourself
I am but only to see you
He's coming and he wants to talk to you
I’m not coming. The music has died and I’m ill with my stomach
They chose to live in such frosty conditions
You deserve it for sending me obscenely cryptic late night messages
A mix of derailed excitement and sobering upset. So absolutely fine. I prefer you as a topic and I don’t think I’m alone in that
As I said, it’s a pleasure to be of assistance. And yes it’s a close community, everyone’s sound
Big brother eviction and a trip to the ritzy

I’m happy your mime act is going well. You should charge
I say you instead of your. It is hell but I have cotton wool
The bar by the port, you cock. I dislike the way you don’t remember it
I’m really busy, about to get laid
The phone in the hand is actually getting a little awkward
I’m in the rad cam, feeling sorry
Try again; there is now space on my phone
I have just beaten you in awkwardness. A very beautiful old man just asked me out and all I said was ‘fine’. I then proceeded with a comment bout how awkward it was. Nice touch
I had missed you more than I knew
Ill be there but I don’t know where it gets in
I could cry. Someone just sent shocking photos of me sent from last night. I’m not going to leave my house
I will leave food in the hall
Why do you never answer the phone?

I will punish you if you have cruel motives
Time just slips away when I’m thinking of you. How does it feel to be desired?
You’re most welcome. I’ve been speaking with one of his mates and I think we've got something he will appreciate. I’m open from 12 on Monday
I want some cake and I want some you as soon as you have a minute
Have you still got my vitamins?
On the train, happy. I brought the metal detector for your pleasure and for mine. I should be back pretty soon, pretty one
In your room?
It’s a winner, come at once
We are going to somewhere that used to be a Chinese brothel
We are at the bar where that man had long greasy grey hair
I’m going to nip this in the bud, give him a fucking kicking. Will you be up in 28 minutes?

Maybe
It’s not for me
Don’t look at my trousers if you come
Do you want to come and get some reading material to fuel your fire? You can vent it all on me like a cruise missile to a refugee camp
The books were meant to lure you in
No then, you are a horrible person, you impress your distorted view on those around you, embroil them in your malicious web and then spit shit them dead of your poison
Shit. I forgot
Sorry man
Do you want to come a play chair races?
Yeah, we’re walking around anyway
Why do you want to know?
I’m not telling. You can’t mess about on it. People use it for serious work. I don’t want you being silly

I want to taste your risotto and become part of you. The director and you are smouldering
Come and live with me. Leave oxford. We could make a life together
I’m fucking seething with annoyance. Reading the American scientific journals. Come along and I could get angry with you. If you are actually bothered, you know I wouldn’t
You fucking whore
I wasn’t asking, I was telling
Let me sniff it
Now
Where would you make love if you were homeless?
I’ve just had an inexplicable surge of love for you. Is it because I’m driving past then Maudsley?
For god’s sake stop being stupid and get the fuck over here
Come over or don’t but I can promise you we all you want you to. Its fun despite the fact that I’m texting you which would suggest it isn’t
I’m in bed now and feeling sorry. I wonder whether she would get on with him

More cigarettes for you
So beautifully sad, like raindrops in heaven, running off Jesus head on the cross and mixing with tears and blood into a white waterfall thats been frozen but its not cold, just lye still and I can see it all, flying around it and emotion pouring out of every pore and then I wake up from a coma and take the first breath without life support and you’re there and eastern glow is in my head. Where are you?
We are embarking on an epic journey to the centre of indie hell. I have a cough-glitter inhalation. He has a food baby, she has issues and I saw that boy wearing a suit in mc Donald’s. The world has gone mad. He asked ‘where is she?’
Asshole
Wrong extension number. Jesus you make it hard
I’m praying for it to rain in the next hour
We have a bone practical in the morning. I will wake you
I can hear you
I’m always happy to see you just don’t bring that boy to my room. Now, come downstairs and pop your head round my door so I can see your pretty face

Looks like you may earn enough for a foreign visit
I have to tell you about Gandhi
In the womb or the bar
I’m having a strange conversation. So rude to text while in the presence of others. Fuck them
Safety pins are not too strong. They hold my life together and ill never say never and ill never say never again

What, preach?
The only reason we are here is for you two and the reason we do so much is so we don’t feel sad not to be with our wonderful children all the time. Call me at any time, in the dead of the night or five in the morning
You are completely brilliant. That’s exactly what I've decided
Dear little Chinese girl in the café just sat down with four red apples
And I do understand that sometimes Neanderthals can be boring
Could you also get me a few bananas please?
I’m pathetic. I just spied him so I’m hiding at the back of a shop
Have you finished with the bones?
I’m trying to read about Neanderthals. I’m becoming allergic to the bastards. Sleepless in Stanstead eating cheesecake, thinking of freckles and ginger hair

Fucking cleaners have been messing with our rooms again while we've been out. We are ‘upsetting’ them apparently and she told me I was going down hill
So, how big and cool is this party tonight
Please come
I’m not seeing any of your passport pictures
I’ve always wanted to go to Kew. You should have invited me
I just didn’t have a clue what you were saying. Sorry
There is no consolation here. Bribe him not to tell. Do anything. Anything
Do you have pictures of anyone else in there? Just say it’s artistic
Go on gut instincts please because they usually work
At least hell would be something proper. No half arsed crap. If you never wanted anything it would be pain free but that would be dull. This whole situation is crap

This cigarette doesn’t even taste good without you lovingly stare at me while I smoke it
Don’t patronize me. We all know I’m not funny. I hope you’re happy now
In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, but two minus one equals nothing
That was mean, its true. Call me before you go to London
You disappeared so fast
I was going to do that, I wanted to add one or two of backs of heads in with them all, but it wasn’t me
Sorry for being obnoxious today, I will have calmed down by the time you’re back
I’m also collecting short video clips of natural hair partings and some are faked. We should make a video together
Love him from a distance. Nothing worse than the torment of love unsatisfied than the torment of love satisfied
You really liked him didn’t you? It’s hard for the centre of your life and reason for your make up to go
He hugged me, smiled, hugged. Smiled, hugged and then said he wouldn’t see me for a while
Just seen a woman you’ll look like when you’re 60

Thanks. We need Imagination
Could have just been an awkward day for him. Persevere
I’m in the library
Read for a bit, then photocopy
Same level as before
How is the stencil collection coming along?
The virgin conceived by a bird in her ear. She may advise you to go to the park and molest ducks. Believe fervently that Friday was just a bad day for him. Or was he nervous? Anyway, a bloody virgin isn’t the best one to pray to in such a situation
I want to hear your voice. language language language. Just went to run run run. I suddenly got really excited. I’m loving my brain full of neurons and more more more synapses all firing at my computer. I want them to be firing at you though
On the bus feeling sorry
Double the pleasure, double the slave labour

I’m up. Are you out?
Panic
I was calling for no reason. It didn’t even cross my mind about your…disability
I don’t know what you’re talking about
I went to my mum and dads at the weekend and brought back some passport photos but don’t know how to categorize them. What do you think?
I can’t think of anything to write
You are the rainbow of happiness peaking through the clouds of my malcontent existence. That means that you make me happy
I have no password now
Can I call you just quickly, I have something archaeological to ask you
Well your hands weren't shaking enough to stop you texting. That’s good. Saliva contains many bacteria of its own, specific to the individuals DNA. I’m going out to the pavements to see some examples
Good or bad
What on earth happened that could be that bad. Come to the café
Come out to the park and we can look at the buttercups from really low down and the tress behind the clouds and the breathing

Two funnies in a row, not bad for you
I was about to say the hat trick was beyond you and I was right
Yes yes and I like to plan
Definitely not marriage material
Strapping Polynesians who can cradle me to sleep whilst in a kava induced coma
Oh for gods sake
I giggled like a little baby
No I wasn’t. Or was I? Maybe not actually. Maybe. No. No. I wasn’t
No
Of course you are
I will think of some words
Still living the dream?

Why? Do you prefer the subtle approach?
Ill try better next time
I need some more time
I spy her in the shelf next to a book on fishbourne. She wants me to come say hello
Guess where I bought a house today?
It’s on the number 3 route
Yes, having spent the entire first year coming home to see you I’m going to crawl across the country for your amusement
You’re going to have to explain that last sentence

But I don’t want stale ryvita and fruit

You better hide too, especially around 5
I live under my desk

I made a new myspace friend. One of yours. She is doing men’s fashion or some such. We are going to exchange stories. I met a friend from my old boys school. First one I've seen in seven years. We both agreed that middle England was too boring for us
He just said, what if there's a girl with a fucking huge hoof and a seeping vulva
He can be disgusting sometimes
I got in
Pay your bills now
Your birthday card I sent you two months ago just cam back through my doors. It is as hot as Greece today
Where the fuck are you?
Could I eat with you?
Three weeks until the next trial
I was so ashamed of my behaviour I agreed to meet him for a coffee

Slut
Just confirm for me that you’re not the person under the tube in oval. Stupid and irrational, but I have to check
No meat to be found anywhere. Crazy Indians, iron levels low. Keep breathing
Orange is welcoming me to talk
You left me
I’m actually worried about you
I got hypnotized by it and melted. If I don’t speak while I listen then he will just blur
Your texts are so cryptic. Always
We are friends
Clockwork orange
Homo habilis
You featured in my dream last night. We were walking around a forest pushing down the trees that were dead. Must have been you’re idea
He is texting me in a friendly manner. I guess he thinks we are ‘friends’, but I thought that was a euphemism for ‘I don’t want to see you ever again’.
Smoking shisha. Watching the sunset. Lots of pop bellied dancers
