On the whole it’s a little lean even for my tastes. I do like the last sentence. Only a couple of days ago Carrie and I watched a documentary about the word ‘fuck’, its supposed origins and its many and diverse uses. 800+ fucks in an hour and a half. I can’t say any of it offended me but that single “Fuck life” at the end of ‘Rockaby’ had far more power. Nice to see some fresh writing from you though. <strong>jb says</strong>: Strange one, this, Jim. Came at me out of a dream. I was somewhere between retaining the flavour of the original and reaching for the tone of a statement. I know it doesn't quite get there but wanted to have the bones down and wait for another moment. I find the use of tiny paragraphs interesting. On the whole it’s a little lean even for my tastes.
