\noverhead, as the morning progresses
\ntowards both nine and work. I am not claimed
\nby the need to travel to work: I can sit
\nin my study, settle down with poem
\nand pen, and revise as needed,
\nbefore firing up the computer,
\nturning on the printer, and saving my draft.<\/p>\n
\nless than five minutes on, gone
\nin a species of diminuendo;
\nI think on how the computer
\ndoes not recognise “there’s”
\nbut recognises “diminuendo”.<\/p>\n
