This is not as it should be:
The Earth, in her prime,
should be shaking new life- forms from her skirts.
Basking in the rays of her closest star,
she should feel safe and satisfied:
Instead, she clutches her dearest to her breast,
fans her face, and wonders how
to escape the coming storm.

It's been a terrible week. A terrible, terrible week. The worst people on earth are full of energy and vigour, the best are defined by anxiety and self-doubt. Here are three simple rules to surviving the next four years, because by God we'll need them iandunt.substack.com/p/a-little-b...

I unexpectedly met Boris Johnson last night.
He was charming. Reasonable. Nice handwriting.
It was all a dream.
Dammit, my subconscious has forgiven him.
