About 15 years it seems but thanks for the invite, maybe when my next Salt book comes out in March (?)
Meanwhile a Snap-
LIFE IS A BITCH
Well, no! Life is more masculine
in fact. Think of it, pal, your mom
wakes you after your late night on
the internet, stale air, stale coffee, your
clothes strewn where you stepped out.
But she has your brekky warming
and the water boiling for your tea mug.
The paper? Yes it's ready, strangely
open at the Jobs Vacant page. Your
hand reaches for the toast. Such is life?
It's not a bitch at all. It's a bastard.
A male bastard. The firstborn son
most of all replicates his dad, eh?
And his mom sees the opportunity
to remake her ageing bridegroom now.
Given top billing, the man unleashed
pampered and persuaded he's a god
come again, grows to believe 'if
it feels good, do it!' And so ex-
ponentially extends his power.
Maybe they're right after all,
since his mother brought him
out into life, life is a bitch?
