not that it matters, but i want to know who did the bad bad georgia brown tattoo on the back of your neck
and the sickly montmarte whore in a top hat on the small of your back
not that it matters, but the bajaj was painted aubergine purple yesterday
and your skirt got stuck on the oversized exhaust pipe of this city
not that it matters, whatever that means
have you ever tried eating oranges laid out like a sushi plate on a girl’s bottom?
not that it matters where i stole the previous line from
not that it matter, nothing matters
not that the old rally 200 still had the old yellow paint under the primer
not that he’s painted over the keyhole on his pre-80s px headset
not that the colours of everything you own will fade with regular spin cycle and a dash of molto
not that
not even that
not even close
you stand at the front of your house
and wait for the pizza hut sign to flicker
you wait forever
you do it
because here, not that it matters
there are always things to do
broken things to fix
and not so many ways anymore to procrastinate
