Hi Jill,
Funny, this morning before writing, before checking emails, I was
thinking of yr poems, saying I should re-visit yr website as I wished to
read some. Is this clairvoyance? There was a poem already in the email
server and it would be good to see it finished (if I can say that
without implying you should rush and risk a botchup... as I like it too
much for that.)
Am beginning to feel overtired and overpushed, myself, and need a break
before I collapse in a heap and do some damage. I use to live in Station
Street when it was a real slum complete with slum landlord, if you can
call it living, actually hiding from the cops after having to leave my
last place of residence after the events of 78 when I was woken each
morning at four or five for warrants for my arrest for crimes I was said
to have committed when I was six years old with the cops yeling and
banging on the door; get out of bed you commie poofter, get out of bed
you pinko fairy and so forth. In Station Street for a couple of months
before fleeing again. The house trashed in mid-flight by what has been
suggested was an agent of the CIA, my German rangefinder camera stolen.
Lucky I had my Nikon with me and they didn't get that. (From the days
when we were considered the current greatest threat to Australian
national security... they thought fags and dykes could bring the
government down even if we don't always get along. Who is the real
paranoid?)
best wishes
Chris Jones.
