A nation sobers up, coddled in grateful silence. A robin flits, hops and flaps on my fence, as if its tiny wings were new. A gang of starlings are losing at chess to a pigeon who won't move. Glass bottles clink delicately into recycling bins, but their victory peal prevails.

About Me
- Kidcobbler
- Spent nine months dreaming on my back. Opened up new horizons, if only horizontal. Woke up disabled, with a Blue Badge and bed hair. Walk with a limp and a stick. Cue the double entendré and the stick. Saving money on shoes. Spending it on thoughts. Overdrawn at the creative bank. Loan facility disabled. The irony! Stronger through weakness. Weaker through slogans. New journeys to be taken. Pop along. I'm off my back. I'm back.
