      Being an adult is… Being constantly aware that death is simultaneously very close and very far away, so each day is a rush to slow down so that you can get enough energy from stillness to speed up and get going. What are you worried about currently?

      This Is Not Stuff, It’s Who I Am

      Yes, I like to keep things. Not just anything – I’m not a hoarder type who lines up empty yoghurt pots by the dozen, or buys a pair of shoes every week to feel validated, but I do think that decluttering is overrated. Simplifying your surroundings so

      Why I can finally STOP WORRYING

      Apr 1, 2021

      Last summer, I bought some dungarees. This is hardly news in itself. They were everywhere. Cute, comfortable, comforting in the chaos of a pandemic. But I had a big – biiiig – birthday coming up in a few months. Could I carry them off? And then came

      Two Poems

      Nov 1, 2019

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Being an adult is… Crazy. What are you worried about currently? I’m worried the WGA [Writers Guild of America] will have to strike for longer than is sustainable for individuals. But they will win so I’m really not ‘worried’ at all. If someone could

      In 2022, I’m most looking forward to… Well, it’s a toss-up. I’m absolutely excited for my new show on Today FM, but I’m secretly just as excited for a new roof. Presently, when it rains, if I’m sitting on the loo, I get a constant drip in the dead-ce

      Perfection

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      THE SHY TURTLE

      Most of my life, I have remained here

      Behind this wall and this door and lock

      Hiding in what I carry on my back

      People mistake me for a big green rock.

      The few changes that I’ve ever made

      Is when people would throw me about.

      Skim me across a small little pond.

      Sink to the bottom as I scream and shout.

      I want out! Adventure calls me.

      See things that I’ll never see.

      Relate to people. People just like you.

      Like I thought I never could do.

      Inside this insulated shell.

      I know my own world and I know it well.

      Mind expansion should be lots of fun.

      I’ll take it one human being one by one.

      I’ll venture into a big bed of roses.

      Riddled with weeds, herbicide and thorns.

      I’ll search to find the beautiful things.

      Stretching in the sun early in the morn.

      Too slow … progress evades me.

      Taking my time … what can’t I see.

      Tripping, falling … so very much.

      Never thought that I was so out of touch.

      NOT ON DRUGS…I WAS BORN THIS WAY

      I oftentimes talk to myself and people think I’m insane

      But my bizarre thoughts must
