Poems
Nov 2022
Things I cannot google
There are things of great significance
greatly sought
greatly valued
which I cannot put in a search bar
There are things I cannot place
on a spreadsheet
or in my pocket
which I place above all else
There are things I find
difficult to quantify
impossible to define
but which have immense meaning
And so, I do not try
to capture them
to count them
and instead I invite them in
prompted by the first Reith Lecture of 2022 (on the BBC)
