these last weeks i've not been able to quite help myself but think that thatcher's foul pageant hogging every page and screen and transmitter was a cackling dispicable last breath victory the sneakiest snakiest cloak and dagger deception all timed perfectly to miraculously disappear all thought and the most outraged outrage at the social cleansing of our cities the spitting on our spare roomers the oh you know everythinging that has just happened while the cameras were turned away. you're not not telling me she didn't do it on purpose...

physical

before we know it it'll be that time when the parka goes back in the wardrobe the cashmere takes it's chances with the moths the cardigan gets unbuttoned (slightly) the brogues give way to loafers and all that keeping the cold out that always got taken care of by those fourteen flights of stairs needs encouraging to stand up straight at the very least. the big gay disco gymnasium down by the photographers gallery pounds out an horrific racket at an outrageous tempo but here we swing to a rocksteady beat. what with these knees and all. the photograph up there is one of a bunch my dad took of local lass and miss world rosemaie frankland. miss world. i know. there's a helpful series of miss world in the gym photographs to help us to spring/summer perfection and alton and hortense to ease the pain. here we go and one and two and ....oh for heaven's sake...
