God, chaps, I hate to say it but I think we must
be one of the wettest collection of wimps in
the Western World. All these girlish confessions
about the first time we read a book. Could there
be anything more squirm-making?
I know. I know. I'm one too. Absolutely.
That palpitating moment when one first
encountered all that David Copperfield crap.
The lump in the throat as one opened
the tissue paper & found the broken watch glass.
I suppose it isn't quite as bad as finding oneself
in the changing room snapping a wet towel
at the other jocks. But it's not MUCH better.
I think we should close down this whole list &
get out in the fresh air more, put some colour
in the old cheeks, steal somebody's wife, join
Slobodan's mercernaries ...
Anything to stop this pale, bespectacled loitering
over endless sheets of grey paper.
Scottie B.
