little words from the suburbs

know I was born here - but finding it hard to

- assimilate -

My family is not the same as yours - I was fed different

- bread -

So I spent the afternoon at the local drinking cheap red wine

- hard to smell harder to swallow -

avoiding university and phonecalls from my mother.

At last drinks my grandfather walks in, it's 30 degrees.

- he's still wearing vest and matching hat -

Now I spent the best part of the night vaguely recalling his questions

sent from my grandmother

- smoking while I roll dough into a heart shaped pan -

The men like to drink

the women like to meddle

- infamous lifestyles of the rich and the dutch -

xo megan. .
