The frequency of people

I was thinking about prawns a lot yesterday
a spontaneous special offer bag of frozen prawns
that you shrug into your basket then discover in the middle shelf
of your freezer two months later and yesterday out on a walk
I could taste certain foods as if I was eating them for the first time
the blossom and the bluebells smelt so beautiful
and I was happy with no headphones on and could taste
a prawn and salad sandwich my mum and I
were eating together on a Saturday lunchtime,
her telling me my dad doesn't like prawns
and there were times she'd practically whisper 'Let's
have something that's just for me and you'
and as I walked by the river I tasted the crusty bread and mayonnaise
and then my first ever beer and then the first time
I ever had camenbert as a starter at a wedding.
