chums, Xt!!! easter sunday came w/ a hell of a judder: still in bed, turned on
the radio to hear "tired" andy motional tearing into an oscarine envelope and
naming list-fave edwin morgan as this yr's recipient of the queen's gold medal
for export, or poetry, or something, the gold medal for queens' poetry,
somesuch, god wot;
does anybody know whether this award is in the (actual) *gift* of the
laureate? or who the feck else would have an oar to shove in? presumably not
the aged quin...
how does the world feel about this?
did anybody hear the afternoon's radio interview (Xt!!! encore, blast! crumbs,
etc.) of morgan by motion?
and then, insult piling on injury like a wolf on the fold blah, i *dreamed* of
andrew motion, we met at some kind of reception and he *repeatedly* kissed
each of my (facial) cheeks (alternately) and every time he did so ***OUR LEGS
GOT SHORTER*** (Xt en bicyclette!!! no worst there is none!!! arf)...
can any list-friend / -fremder help me to decode this gnarlish sub-Collodian
fantasy? is it common? doctor am i normal?
i find also that i am unable to delete kms20's mail headed 'Launch of Drew
Milne's PIANOLA' because the image is just too goon-show good. (might almost
make up for the glib perambulations doubtless to be found between the covers,
har har.)
feel i may be about to hit some kind of britpo sublime right in the coccyx, if
you have pity and terror prepare to emit them *now*,
