1. Soapy, sorry for that little debacle last night. Didn't mean to scare you.
2. SM2, I told you to shut up about three pages back, when I came on this morning. Again, in your absense.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
