Maybe you're worth it
But I'm not wasting my fishcakes

Hi, I'm Aileen and I like fishcakes. Fishcakes are awesome, even though they're processed food. What does it mean to be processed food? It means to be consumed by Americans MEHEHEHHE.

Would you like a fishcake? They are constructing something on my rooftop.

Morning Train

Why do you not look at each other's
Faces? Is the scenery that arresting,
One housing estate giving birth
To yet another copy?
Or the advertisements, read and un-read,
As if behind a slogan's promise lay
Hidden promise? Answer me:
Is that consciousness rising in you
Dissolving your fatigue like a plastic sheet
Warping in heat, or is that simply
Sleepy, draining away from you
Down to your soles, to the invisible tracks
Where the dew is dying? Where electricity
Is what pushes you to the borders
Of your own loneliness, against
The vulgar loneliness of the crowds
