  • A DAY IN A LIFE OF TOKENISM

    A DAY IN A LIFE OF TOKENISM

    Tokens of his love left by way of an apology before he left last night to go back to his wife and children. She dumped the flowers in the bin. At her yoga as she tried to revive herself from too much wine the night before. She stuck to the back of the class and…

    BURN OUT
