those days

(about childhood)

people often ask children what their favourite food is,
especially when they were as skinny as me.

milk-white hair and a little tooth-pick body

'what is your favourite food?' they would ask
'pancakes' i would reply
'and also, corn on the cob'
and does it have to be on the cob? they would ask
'yes' i would answer and i would wonder how it could be corn on the cob if it wasnt on the cob.

strange i thought, and would get on with turning myself upside down and the right way round til it was time for bed
