1826 c/o JDA Winslow









I have three stamps
In my passport
And I nearly bought
‘Blue Moves’
On vinyl.


I thought I would
Still be in Russia
But the third
Was a
Transit visa.


I had
72 hours
To reverse my exile
And
All I wanted
Was to
Go to
Lake Baikal
And meet the
rarest type of seal.


Life is a game
Where one must
Acquire as much
knowledge as possible.


They all died in the end,
Of course.




1825 c/o JDA Winslow









They didn’t run across the river
Neither did I
I ran along it though,
In winter,
January,
So,
A month late.


The running across
Came
Sometime later
In winter though,
Again.
