You've got yourself a cold one from the fridge when I call. It's April again and the clocks changed again didn't they and I haven't heard from them in months now. I think they're all caught up in their own personal knots or weeds as the timeβs gone, going, that hour away to the clouds. Those I knew I wouldn't know now in Marks and Spencer, the multi-storey. Any memories like puddles, warped. They, too, going to the clouds. It's lighter in the evenings but much is the same; the chickens with their sore throats, cheers from a distant football pitch. Something is different though. Indefinable. Condensation on a window. I agree, you say, as I hear your wife's muffled voice in the background.
