Well, in so far as this is a portrait... er lost myself; I was
interrupted, called upon, by someone remarkably like the speaker of the
poem.
I think this a poem about the person speaking the poem
I don't know about expressing ourselves, I really don't
Ta for reading my poem.
I should have sent it yesterday but spent most of Tuesday thinking it was
Wednesday. I worked out that it was Tuesday and then forgot I had
established that and acted as though it was Wednesday again.
So I didn't go to the post office on Tuesday pm because I thought it was
Wednesday. And then on Wednesday afternoon, the post office was shut
because it was Wednesday.
Heh ho
