i’m driving her

to an appointment

deep in the old city

trying not to narrate

but here we go

i taught a group there

doing sex education

2^nd floor church building

pointing that out

had pics on screens

genitalia & identifiers

realised halfway through

patients in the surgery

across the street

were wondering why

a giant vagina

was in the window

she giggles as we drive on

& over there…..

my voice trails away

some stories are best

for another day as

nostalgia bites hard

back of my throat
