Not so badly. Just considering retiring from the OU after 25 years. The joy has gone from it. And, no, not cos I've become a grumpy old git (tho I am one off course), more because nobody there speaks English anymore; just some bureaucratic gobbledy-gook. Any road up Gay you have done well for yourself and I really hope that you are happy. Keep in touch: johnemarksesq@gmail.com.

DeleteA stranger at my door,
DeleteA flower for all the world for you,
A forget-me-not for your haunted look,
Skin stretched thin as famine.
Delphiniums for the memory:
Orchids for the night.
With her thin strange tongue
That does not belong
Anywhere
Thin, thin, her stem
Great, great her bloom.
O! the roses of the morning,
And the sweet, sweet scent of stock in the afternoon:
Memories, children, kindnesses
Let them all bloom.
