I Write Between 5.30am And

I Get Up At 5.30am, Sluice Myself And Have Two Weetabix And Some Mint Tea, Before Starting To Write By 6am.

I Shall Try To Write A Poem That Is About The Moment But Doesn't Betray Things That Are True To Me As A Poet.

I Like Eating Out. I Like Buying Beautiful Paintings And Being Surrounded By Beautiful Things. I Have To Finance That Life. I Can Barely Afford A Pension Scheme Because I Don't Make Enough Money.

I Am A Vigilant Monarchist. I Want To See Things Evolve. The Direction The Monarchy Seems To Be Moving In - Towards A More Mainland-european Model - Is One I Would Feel Sympathetic About.

I Write Between 5.30am And 9.00. That Way, I Hope I Carry Over Something From My Dream Time.
