John Lennon's Girl

written by: Robbie Masso

@robbie.masso

The radio played Twist & Shout.
I danced with the invisible dream.
I had to work up the courage
to lie about being social.

Her opinion matters to me
even though I hate her mind.
I’m settling.
My own company isn’t enough anymore.
Of Mice & Men, Lennie.

I was more outgoing in deja vu.
Cancer stick strength.
She puts out my cigarette
and starts the song over.

I was born and bred in Coventry and write under the pseudonym 'Ricky Hawthorne', a character from one of my favourite books from my teenage years, 'Ghost Story' by Peter Straub. In 2002, fearing I would lose my job, I started an MBA in Theatre, Film and Literature at Warwick University, graduating in 2006. During the course I, inexplicably, developed a film narrative inside my head. I then wrote out a script. My first screenplay – ‘Myth’. Since then I have completed four more with the latest ‘Would Love to Meet’ being the first requested by a producer through Inktip. I also have written three teleplays based on my own short stories, a children’s short story, 3 stage plays, a TV Pilot and found my fondness for writing poetry return after several years of dry wood. I am married to my lovely Mairea and we have 5 children.
