a completely thoughtless idiot. I hear this voice nearly all the time,
bloody hell it's me, it almost just won't shut up, on and on it goes.
There are moments of placation, they include at least the act of
writing poetry, and on good days talking about that peculiar habit
(sometimes too discussions of that frangible art go completely
wayward, but there we go)
