  1. Look carefully - the whisky bottle is firmly closed! A good poet doesn't need drink or drugs whatever they tell you to the contrary. There are other much safer ways to expand the mind.

  2. I have been back and had a careful look Gwil and am relieved to see you are right!
    Your line at the end reminded me of the Bob Dylan song 'it's not me Babe, it's not me you're lookin' for'

  4. Thanks Gerry. It's like you both say. I like the Raymond Pettibon quote. The man is a walking library. His pockets are invariably stuffed full of bits of paper torn from newspapers, books, whatever.
