Boxing Day

4051 So O'Keefe leans in and says 

4052 We've never really been close

4053 You are not you without your glasses

4054 You cannot paint a moving river

4055 I shall refer to myself in the third person. There is a third person in this marriage.

4056 I am pissing blood

4057 Your three letters are now to hand

4058 Pomegranate green tea, a street-cleaning machine outside

4059 I caught a fish made of stone

4060 Message to my grandson

4061 The man runs a dismal painted-furniture shop

4062 I have no problem with who he loves, only the manner

4063 We have brought you up on iPads. You try to swipe pages

4064 The Zulu is a fiendish fighter

4065 People with cancer are selfish, mostly

4066 The red Coat, I suppose, and the Martin Henry, and that long bayonet

4067 I feel I might write more if I left the bank

4068 The biggest boil on my arse

4069 So this, this is poetry

4070I feel the need to say something learned and profound

4071 I am afraid you may have become anxious. So sorry

4072 This be fucked

4073 Dad, I said, don't die while they're still playing

4074 Can you be tempted up to town this evening?

4075 Orbison was a strange looking fellah
