now that he’ll never sing another note

This one's even better.

I thought Ray Smuckles summed it up nicely.

Happy Bloomsday!

I'm planning to read Molly's soliloquy today in celebration. "Yes because he never did a thing like that before as ask to get his breakfast in bed with a couple of eggs since the City Arms hotel..."

A good day for poetry in general -- I saw this Poem on the Underground today:

LIKE A BEACON

In London
every now and then
I get this craving
for my mother's food
I leave art galleries
in search of plaintains
saltfish/sweet potatoes

I need this link

I need this touch
of home
swinging in my bag
like a beacon
against the cold
