-i just had two pieces of dry toast.

-i am wearing a long-sleeve shirt in what is approaching late spring.

-i get fevers and headaches for seemingly no reason and more often than i could strike up to chance.

-i got a new pair of trainers.

-i got two new shirts, size medium. i was looking for size small as they would have fit better i think, but i could not find any.

-i got a haircut that makes me look, somehow, more like a schoolboy.


i cannot tell whether i am forty three years old, or twelve.

"then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
of which i'll share with you;
my feet is my only carriage,
so i've got to push on through.." -b.m.
