Will your lack of ambition become tedious,

Could this ever be anything but horribly overbearing.

diffident indifference with rain

Cuchulainn

indentions

I open the book and breath deep in that worn book smell,

intolerence

when prompted at the boarder.

way they move in self affirming

even appear to all intensive purposes

How do I start it when there is no clear resolution in sight

Hamid Khan was a tall, lithe and awkwardly handsome boy, school captain of everything…

After a rather difficult, muted time at day school in Cambridge…

although I will admit he exploited those seagulls

and everyone got a share

A word meaning to be so foolish, absurd or unreasonable as to…

Way of controlling mental health disorders. Father had always encouraged sport…

Remember who’s habitat you destroyed to create yours.

Che

"Father had always encouraged sport…
