Obsolete Muscle Memory (There and Here)
take off at the lights on my bike, changing gears with confidence that the road rules will hold
open shop freezer, grab ice cream, card swipe PIN grin thanks
tie my dressing gown around me
check the letterbox
vacuum floors
mash spuds
prune
knit
wrap
squat
lip-point
nod with brows
scrape a coconut
stitch a string bag in figure-eights
crouch or get up, wearing a skirt, with flash-proof technique
flip my engagement ring over when I leave home so it looks plain and I don't get mugged
