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
