WARRANDER PARK ROAD II by Zoe Konstantinou

- I’m fucked 

- Then come talk to me

He rolled me a cig and I found out he was half Irish 

Time passed

we went inside

he gave me shots

then it was my turn

3 a.m., places close

he switched to French / asked me to come over

C’est ton choix 

After a while I found him there

he showed me inside effortlessly

all that time I struggled for us to meet 

seemed but a minor misunderstanding.
