Do I forgive them?
I can
But, more than I was,
I’m afraid
Afraid
Of nothing

Give it your best guess, sit down and talk
Push reset in, hold one minute more
Somehow that’s fighting

I know you just want an easy life
To get around to your letters
All the morning talk
Never to ruin it
(Entry: August’19)

No-one’s got nothing to show for it
The waves of living
Under the raft,
Keep up that note saying ‘go for it!’

This is me, on a sabbath.

The smell of myrrh through my open window
That’s normal life, man!

I know you just want an easy life
To get around to your letters
All the morning talk
Never to ruin it
(Entry: August’19)

Should I Grayson
Perry it up?
I’m such a maverick.
I just want to talk to you again
at that something-or-other-with everyone who’s anyone

As a child tries to tear a straight line,
round the border of a picture,
That’s how I hope I’m working through mine-somehow in the right direction

I know you just want an easy life
To get around to your letters
All the morning talk
Never to ruin it
(August’19)

Do you respect me? Am I eccentric enough?
It’s alright.
Always over-reaching.
(April ’20)
