14 I am brown and I am burned I am dancing bonito flakes My cousin and his wife made baba and I act like civilized people for 5 days She is the cutest Belarusian ever And my cousin is a chauvinist idiot She called me 'my cat' and made everything better There is no summer romance to speak of Pretty sure I could steal my cousin's wife though I sang Jesse's girl without noticing when we were cycling Hello subconscious They're back to Cairo now What else? I was rejected by hot Alexandrian man because I greeted him on the street A mysterious guy in red swimming trunks leered at me on the beach which was kind of fun to gossip about Mostly I worked on my scripts and listened to cat-in-law vent about my cousin being stupid And sighing in Russian, I learned a lot of Russian, mostly swears Socialising is heavy Aunt Z has a stomach bug, she's at the timeshare now My Swedish friend is here I'm waiting for her and drinking mango I brought my guitar to fill any silences The sea makes me cry I'm very grateful for all this beauty Slowly slowly feeling less panicked |
