Geometry, Keir Starmer. You try to move right to beat the right. But the right defines you as left & wants to be on your right. Move in their direction; they’ll simply move further away.

14 April. My #poem, Claggart, conceived 9 years ago, a meditation on destructive, abusive aggression, is inescapably associated for me with this date. It’s in this edition of #Poetry NI’s excellent FourXFour magazine on p. 47. Lots of other good stuff in there too. #booksky #poetrycommunity

Exactly!! It's a wonder I ever manage to get anything done at all 😍 #catwatching
