so it rained all day & i was stuck at home so i made this youtube clip of me reading my poem ‘water’s for fish’ –– from my forthcoming collection, ‘and my heart crumples like a coke can.’  it can take quite some time to record a poem. firstly, there are the coughs, the frogs that appear unexpectedly in your throat, then you get to the last line and the cat walks into the room meowing, then the phone rings mid-line (cause you forgot to turn it off), then the neighbour starts to mow his lawn & don’t start me on the guy two doors up with his leaf blower.
