Excellent, Trevor. I had a similar experience some years ago when I rolled up at Doncaster Station’s Executive Car Park with my First Class ticket in my rusted, beat up Triumph Dolomite. Very satisfying.

Fine poem, Hélène. I often want to tune out of all this, but don't suppose that I will. More's the pity, I guess. If everyone ignored the guy, he'd probably go away!

Thank you, Graham. I understand your sentiments. It is sad that innocent people are just dumped into unmarked plots during wartime. Everyone should be remembered.

Hi Landi,
So strange that you mention "The Truman Show" as I was watching clips of it just the other day, I'm not even sure why I was watching them.
I can see the link you have allude to.
Thanks for reading and comments.

..sorry to come to this so late, but I keep thinking of The Truman Show, the tragic version. I'm most sure that isn't what you had in mind, I just picked up a hint of surrealism and being set up from afar.

How well you put your questions - I struggled for answers when my 'God' was chosen for me - now I am free and do not have to obey any 'made up' rules designed to own and control me.
I strongly believe in compassion and equality and that covers everything for me.

Hi Graham,
Absolutely spot on, no mankind = no gods
I appreciate your encouragement and advice. I try to maintain confidence in myself although being aware of my own failings and my persistant disappointment with our species isn't much help.
Of course it does no good to dwell on such matters as it drags us into morose stagnation, I feel I am able to combat that and maintain my sense of humour, tempered with an unfortunate cynicism which probably manifests as grumpy old git syndrome.
I just read your new poem and will comment on it when I have a quiet few moments. You are right, there does seem to be a lot of sleep disruption amoung the population at the moment. I suppose it's a time of great uncertainty for many.
Thanks again,
David RL Moore

David, insomnia is endemic at the moment I feel. Recently the sunrises have been something of a pay-off. I have a new piece ready to place on the blog acknowledging the inability to sleep and getting words in my head. The outrageous shenanigans in USA do nothing to help.
Gods are a man-made construct remember. Just believe in yourself.

Thanks Robert and Flyntland,
Thanks also to RBK, Rob, Stephen, Naomi and Hugh for the flowers.
I couldn't sleep last night and found myself watching the sun come up to another twist of the knife in the back of Ukraine and Europe. How long can we dress appeasement up as diplomacy and pretend shit isn't happening?
I only wish I was a few years younger without one gammy leg and a head full of rattlesnakes! I'd be pulling my boots back on today.

Thank you very much David, Landi and Flynt for taking the trouble to comment and also thanks to RBK, Hélène, Tom, Holden, Hugh, Aisha and Pinnochio. Yes, David, sometimes I feel on the edge but it's the people I love who drag me back. Yes, Landi, generational trauma kills, we have to fight hard to avoid repeating the violence of the past and yes, yes, yes, Tom Petty's sumfinelse! Also, Flyntland, the myth of the 'golden age' of an imaginary past has a strong, and deforming, grip of on the British view of themselves.
