I know about the pain and restricted movement, Max, that's why I made merry with it - that's a very basic human psychological reflex, isn't it? I think it's proper spelling is 'supra' - I wrote what I first heard (oral culture is not a preferable condition, well not for apes of slow wit anyhow). I have a veritable portfolio of muscular inflammatory problems which are given facts of my life. I used to drink like the Atlantic Ocean and went for all sorts of therapies till I realised it was the body craving muscle soothers. So I threw away the bottle and settled for a glum cohabitation with pain, like a marriage made in Yorkshire :) Best Dave Sent from my BlackBerry smartphone from Virgin Media -----Original Message----- From: Max Richards <[log in to unmask]> Sender: "Poetryetc: poetry and poetics" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 11:04:27 To: <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: "Poetryetc: poetry and poetics" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: pat snap¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬Wednesday, 01 June 2011 Great phrase, Dave, but google on it frightens me.
