Some Things by Hannah Newell

The thing I love about coffee is its blackness
The thing I hate about polystyrene is its sound
The thing I hate about lentils is their powdereyness
The thing I love about cigarettes is the standing outside
The thing I hate about kindle is the not reading it in the bath
The thing I love about mum is her soup
The thing I hate about mum is her gravy
The thing I love about duplo is its bigness
The thing I hate about politics it its tribalism
The thing I hate about Spurs is everything
The thing I love about love is its tiny hair clips
