The prompt for my piece was that awful sinking feeling that comes when
someone flourishes a parody of the red wheelbarrow as if a bright idea
nobody else had ever had. I'm very aware of the potential of the initials,
though I might ditch the title anyhow.
Can't make my mind up whether to replace the start with 'Too much depends'
or not.
