My name is Chloe
Amongst other things
Named after someone
From Home and Away
My family calls me sweet things
Like honey, sugar plum
And every confection under the sun
Bullies called me more sour things
Like fatty and lots of swear words
Saw some the other day
Plodding to the Job Centre
That's karma for them
My friends call me Chlobo
The Miss Green Tea
Ever since college
Now I'm at work
They just call me Chlo
My closest pals call me a
Sister from another mother
I'm a godmother to Jade's Son
My Greatnan, nearly a centenarian
Gave me a card saying congratulations
On the birth of your granddaughter
I haven't got kids yet!

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
