Found poem using part sentences from Tom Cox's wonderful book 'Villager'. Edited from 12 long parts of sentences to this:
Wallflower
Roll the dice across the map
Hair greyed and thinner
marinated in ginger and soy
Coming out the door deeply submerged
The sun I never knew existed
had not been to sleep.
