Thanks, Roger, and Andrew. A "silkworm poet" is a wondrous idea,
spinning out letter after letter. I wrote it after reading the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees explain to the press that there were in fact
not enough winter tents in _existence_ to keep the victims of
Pakistan's earthquake warm. Sometimes one desperately wishes poetry to
be a more useful exercise, in a tangible sense. Maybe I should learn to
sew.
