k u .co. mind our y think re #IFeelBetterWhen My Favourite Things Rain, Guns ‘n’ Roses and Wispas I’ve bitten. Perspectives I got from not living in Britain. Dave Gilmour solos and Beatles CDs. These are some things that can help me be me. That slip of a girl that sings blues deep inside her. Tim Burton movies with Winona Ryder. Sonnets, acrostics, pantoums, villanelles: Just some more things that aren’t totally hell. When there’s letters From the bailiff And the D Dubya P I simply persist With the things on my list And things continue to be. Greggs apple danish, with less fruit than icing. Ideas that tempt me like apples, enticing. Snakes in the garden that tell me what’s what. There’s a few more I have never forgot. Trying new things and the joys I discover. Bob Dylan songs that are easy to cover. Words that fall nimbly to pre-ordered slots. It seems that I’m happy with rather a lot. When I’m hunting For the happy And it’s all gone wrong, These things can remind me I already found it. I had it all along. Andrew Barber Selected Spoken Word ‘B’ Side 58 I Would Not Be Without You
