Yes, he did, and I was willing to take him, on the condidtion that he wouldn't run up and join in, of course. However, when we heard just how crap it was, I tried to persude him it was not worth it. He didn't agree. When i told him that those good looking lady chimps he lusted after in the production stills were just people in suits, he decided he didn't want to go. I promised I'd take him on a dating trip to the Zoo instead.
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
