Tate Papworth Poem
Every Thursday for 2 years we’d meet at our cafe
For a slice of cake.
For 2 years I loved her in silence.
And counted down the days until the next Thursday.
Today I found courage.
“Can I tell you something?”
“Anything,” she said.
“I hate cake."
She smiled.
“So do I.”

Revolutionary supermarket manager
Decides to place the eggs next to the deli chicken
To provoke spirited debate among his customers

Tate Papworth Poem
Sneezing fit on the freeway.
Carrie Underwood's 'Jesus, Take The Wheel' playing on the radio.
It's nice when things work out.

Tate Papworth Poem
Crashed my car as I swerved to miss a chicken crossing the road.
She stopped and stared as I got out to inspect the damage.
“Why were you crossing the road?” I yelled.
She turned away and walked off into the Winter night.
Stupid riddle.

Defeated man
Sips on a free coffee sample
And shudders
Even the free things in life
Taste bitter.

Tate Papworth Poem
Old lady
Woken by the sound of fireworks
‘It must be a new year,’ she thought
As she fell back to sleep,
Dreaming of a time long ago.
When the night was hers.

Tate Papworth Poem
Today she asked me if I've ever been in love.
The smile faded from my face.
"Just once."
