Shamelessly, I practise my plies at the bus stop.
Shamelessly, shameless, I sing ‘Tired of Sleeping’ in the shower.
Not ashamed of anything, I dress in old lady’s attire: brown floral blouse, salmon pink tights, and comfy white shoes from Clarks.
Shamelessly, I laugh at all the shams out there.
‘What a shame,’ they say. ‘She’s losing her marbles!’
Shamelessly, I steal my children’s marble collection,
and I start to play.
Rolling on with the marbles, endlessly and shamelessly.
