someone pretended to be me

filled my details out online

intercepted the card as it arrived

and went to Morrisons. Someone

in a red sweater, NY cap

black jeans, pink socks

spent 200 quid on

groceries I imagine, booze

toothpaste, noodles, coco-pops

definitely leeks and potatoes

for a leek and potato soup

(crème fraîche to stir in)

that someone then caught

the bus, the 343 perhaps, went

to that Peckham café

on the white side of Peckham

sat on a shared table

had a tea and carrot cake

read the paper, leant

back in their seat

so their hands fell to their sides

and the lady to the right

casual as breathing

pulled her handbag close
