What is a man, what is a woman…
solved by the stroke of a pen
The genders now mix, the game has been fixed
—playing fields only pretend
(The New Room: January, 2021)
I am a lion in the water
A bird struggling in the mud
I'm a horse trapped in the stall
A spider's prelude before the web
A wolf pacing before the hunt
A snail climbing Everest
I am the energy that supersedes the deed
I am the champion of its release
I am the fastest
The strongest
The most industrious
Of all around me
For I know the secret of hesitation
The powerful build-up of intention
I am the moment of singular focus
The third eye that can see beyond the now
I am the goal
I am the athlete
To make it happen
In the moment

Twenty two moles on a cricket pitch play bingo when it rains. Single no longer to ascertain whether the verb is used or not. Solve a riddle backwards at all times for this will allow grass formations to be presented evenly. Eerie errors egging elements. And a rusted bat. Oh dear. Peel not an eye. And take no crowd on a barge. Enjoying the sunshine and eating a pan of strawberries and cheese. Lovely. Halftime is interesting isn't it? Over octave opuses originally originate. And that is not noted to be salted. Spin then. *** athleticism Z
