So I shall.
Having abandoned the library in favour of a slow and thoughtful walk home (and an admirable avoidance of reading Virginia Woolf) I have had an evening of 'relaxation'. Well, as close to relaxation as I can get.
I keep getting headaches. I am thinking lots every day and my mind keeps throwing up interesting ideas.
I see kids playing by the A3
Scrambling up the stone slope in the underpass
With that sense of urgency that a monster is coming;
Or that you're an expedition leader
The tread of your trainers scrapes cold rock
And with a burst you've bypassed
The cobwebbed white walls with the railway line on the right
Black metal veins pulsing ocassionally with life you don't know
And the light pollution adds a tint to the milky sky
Sickly mix of orange and deepening greyBlack branches; useless capillaries reaching up to
Somewhere.
I saw kids playing by the A3.
The significance of the place is a mystery to me.
I may have a stab at writing 'stream of consciousness' narration. It makes me feel a little less crazy when I read Woolf and Joyce. It also makes me feel a littles less unique. Not sure how I feel about that.
