Yes! Yes! Almost back to normal now. I have written a couple of poems to do on the plinth and it’s really coming together now. They are called “Peace One Day” and “Action!” I’ll put them on here afterwards – don’t want to pre-empt the event.
I’m wondering if I should have a megaphone, and if so, how poems about peace are going to come across when shouted via a megaphone. Reminds me of Vogon poetry – hence the title, which I think comes from the H2G2 film.
Tying up all the loose ends today. Practising, and hopefully booking a holiday. I’m staying tomorrow night with a friend of Claire’s called Anna – and for a while I thought she lived near St Peter’s Church, Edmonton, because she’s in London N9. Turns out London N9 is quite a big area. She’s not even near Oakfield Rd, Stoke Newington, where my grandparents came from – and it isn’t easy to get from one place to the other on the tube. Ah well. The holiday cottage I really want, though, is in Rustington, and I know that’s near where my grandparents retired. Rustington is only a small town.
My head is coming together. Thank god.
Kirk out.
