Hi!
As mentioned yesterday, I have been revisiting a few shows where some of the characters are brooding types. I’ve always been drawn to them – I suppose we all are or there wouldn’t be so many of those characters written 😉
I looked up ‘spurious‘ and ‘rustic‘ just to see if I could get a different angle on the words by doing so.
View Long Nippy Wonder Spurious Action Milk Screw Rustic
I just needed somewhere with a view –
To draw a long breath and centre;
Feel the nippy wind stealing troubles,
Wonder at something much bigger than me.
How long I have played the spurious child:
Frozen, scared of action in case
Worms and milk everywhere
Would make others cry?
Turning that screw on myself
Just to punish thoughts of grandeur;
Keep myself rustic and humble
For some unrealised gain.
While thinking about the poem, Dr. Carter from ER sprang into my head. I think it’s because of the scenes where he goes out to get some air and agonise over life, the universe, and everything?! If I wasn’t so squeamish I would get a hold of all the seasons of that corker, too…
