Abbi van den Berg - O'Neill's

This moment of amusement
you're getting from your act
of valour
isn't nearly as amusing to me
because this incident that defies belief
is not an anecdote

It is my life

And although my Bridget Jones style
fumblings make wonderful
stories to tell your court,

I wake up next to them
every morning

So stop encouraging me falsely
and make your own movie

Abbi van den Berg
