An act of war when no war is declared Makes war a problem of the entire world Now we see a plane burn in the air Was this just an accident bizarre?
No land is safe, all meadows killing fields We all are soldiers, none of us have shields We must pretend for how else can we live To make the children safe, what must we give?
Once we had imperatives,now gone There is no order, ethics are undone War is undeclared , we now shall share The fate so many suffer unprepared
Global markets lead to global war The essence of the incident lies bare
Please lie down.Tell me what brings you here Not literally? [ could be autistic] No, you are always here in a sense. Well, you know English is not my first language [ excuses] No, you were here before language.How hard to imagine. I have come here because of my guilt [ trying to be human ] I’ll be judge, I’ll be jury, said cunning old fury
Very adroit [Shows off his skills] What’s that? The opposite of maladroit Why did you send the Flood over the earth\~ I pressed the wrong button. [Teases me] That is absurd. There were no buttons then Not even on coats? [Pretends to be ignorant] Well you should know I don’t like little details in my creatiity [ Thinks he is superior] Come on, tell me whatever comes to mind I like playing with water and fire as well [ Melanie Klein come here] You tell me It’s such fun [ emotionally stunted] Like War? It was not so bad to start with { always an excuse…. lacking in adult responsibility] What, even Cain and Abel? Very sad but it’s just a story [ Derrida,Levinas, Enid Blyton] Don’t tell me you are a post modernist I can be what I want , for fun you know [ repeats himself] I didn’t know God has fun Well you do now [ Humour]
Right that is £120
What, you think I should pay? [ feels superior] I have to live,Lord.I have a family [ childish plea] So did I once [Sarcasm and grief] Well, any alternative? I’ll give you an indulgence/ How about Martin Luther? Should he have one? Why not, he’s just human like you. But Hitler? I retain the right to silence [ knows the law]
Well when you stop sulking make another appointment Can no-one help me? Don’t give up hope. Goodbye for now.
Nature isn’t only relaxing for young people with autism, it is also an exciting place for them be, Ms. Brans said. The same ability to focus in on one thing that can get them hooked on video games allows them to zero in on minute details — the sound of a single insect, the texture of a blade of grass. Of course, the autism spectrum is broad, and each child’s needs and strengths vary.
Annie ran into Mary’s kitchen wearing a pale green coat and matching suede s oes Oh,let me tell you my happy news,I am gettng married again Is that why you are all dressed up?Why green? Don’t be ridiculous,marriage needs organising You mean the Ceremony? Yes, and the meal I think marriage itself needs organising.Who will pay the bills and bring in the coal? Which side of the bed will you sleep on? Oh, I must get larger bed,Annie realised thoughtfully And who is to be your husband? I’ve not decided yet,Annie admitted quietly How many candidates are there for the position,Mary asked quizzically? Well, the main one is Denis, the psychoanalyst across the road I expect he already has a big bed..Mary joked knowingly Yes,I spent a night or so with him and he has a memory foam mattress here. I hope it doesn’t remember all the women he has slept with Well, only if they slept there.They might have gone to an hotel or been in a caravan at Southwold Harbour,Annie rambled on They might have slept in a wood by a log fire or in a tent on the West Bank So will he be faithful to you? He’s already told me he adores me more than he knew possible That will soon wear off when you live together How cruel you are,Annie sighed ,like martyr waiting to be executed Shall I make some tea for us both? Yes and boil my hankies as well,Mary joked. I shall boil your tongue if you keep teasing me! They sat down near the window while the sun was setting in a wine coloured sky I do like your outlook,Annie said I thought it was Microsoft’s,Mary told her innocently You silly idiot,I mean your view I’ve never heard of YourView.Is it a new thing like Zoom? Mary asked nervously I mean, this view here from your window at dusk Wow,I am frightened how I assume everything I learn of is related to Modern Technology Yeah, said Annie,I’ve done it too You are both stupid,said Emile the resident cat How rude.Why do you say that,Mary enquired boldly? It’s the whole human race.All hooked on Skype or a Twatter What’s a Twattter? It’s someone who lives on Twitter You won’t find a bird on Twitter. So a bird can’t be a Twatter That is correct.Aristotle would be pleased if he were here Where is he? In a book.
That is end of “Logic made simple” on BBC education
When Mary awoke, she felt the pain in her ear was worse. I think must have an ear infection, she said to Annie while she was beating the doormat on the wall to get the dust out. Maybe you should stop cleaning and housework.You are releasing lots of dirt into the air You are right,Mary replied.It’s just what Mother used to do But did she have a hoover? No, we had a Ewbank. Get a cordless cleaner and it will suck the dust out for you Thanks,Annie.I think I will go to the Urgent Care Centre.I don’t want an abscess in my ear to explode,as it were. I’m sorry I can’t come but they have restrictions about how many visitors go in Mary called a cab.Soon she was in the almost empty hospital.How much she would have liked a companion.Still, there is always God, wherever he has moved to. A young woman with thick frizzy fair hair called her in and said that she was a GP Mary was thinking how much better her pale lips would look with some lipstick As for her clothes, it is best to remain silent.I suppose doctors can’t afford to go to M & S nowadays Mary thought. There is some wax in your ear, the doctor told Mary in a cruel manner That’s good.I need a candle,Mary said inventively Then the maskless doctor stood in front of Mary and peered into her mouth. Sheaaaàa pushed Mary’s crutch away and announced, there is nothing wrong with you You must go out and make new connections, do things, go to Dances, play Bingo Get up and walk, she advised , Jesus remarked in the Gospel l,though he also asked the cripple to take up his bed yet there were no beds left in the hospital Oh,dear Mary said I am not wired myself as yet.My body is running on sunshine. Do you think I should offer my supine body to the lonely old men living in the big houses near here? I’m afraid I shall have to charge them.Do you have any free room with an elecric socket that I might use? And we’ll need a bed The beds are all full, the doctor replied Good grief, how many people are in these beds? Do they share? Don’t ask me.It’s my coffee break, the young lady cried Mary struggled up and went outside to call a cab At least it’s been a change of scene yet as the cab drove her home, the pain began to get worse. Is Mary going to make it?
To be concluded shortly Funeral arrangements by the Coop. if needed
Stan was very worried that the police had caught him.He didn’t realize that ,with the low sun, the mirror in his pocket was flashing out coded messages to aircraft.He got out of the car and walked over to the police on the grassy verge of the road I’m so sorry,it’s just my wife’s solid gold powder compact.See? Have you got your marriage certificate with you? Well,no.I didn’t know we in the UK needed to show them to the police. demurred Stan It may belong to your wife but you are a man.Men don’t carry them.We never saw one before.Young women never use then, Certain men might of course..actors or politicians.I know Tony Blair wore make up. That’s irrelevant.Give me that compact. Stan pulled the golden compact out of his pocket,still open. The police man stared into the mirror.His face turned pale.He handed the compact to Stan and ran back to his car asking the driver to take him to the nearest boiling Tea Shop. Stan looked at Satan and grinned… What did you do? I just held up a photo I have of him in bed with a sheep….need I say more? Did you enjoy seeing that? Stan asked thoughtlessly. Not much.~I prefer your flame haired mistress with her perfume of Araby.She’s something else again. So you can smell then? Stan enquired. Oh,yes,said the devil.Sure I can.I just can’t touch or be touched. So Stan started the car and off they went;all the lights were green and not a single police car was on duty. Soon they reached Upper Sheringham.The people here are very long lived.I know it’s the best place to live in the UK;then they turned down the old High Street and parked by a gambolling shop full of lambs. Now what? Will the sea cheer up a sad old devil or make him suicidal?The cliffs are not very high.We must await the next piece of the story with interest and patience.
