spirits sometimes refuse to soar, but may be prepared to gently float
over time, the knife and fork have reached an accommodation
leaves do fall, but also often stumble, stutter or skitter along
good (and bad) things come along in all sorts of numbers, and sometimes not at all
books gather that dust may be approaching, but remain sanguine
the best thing is often just to think of the best thing
not sleeping a wink – surely that’s unlikely?

I really like the rather appropriate 'effortlessness' of this poem. Books happily waiting for dust...nice. Excellent one, Tom.
Oh yeah...keep meaning to get the latest Robert Wyatt. What do you think of it? My personal favourite is 'Rock Bottom' but he has made many excellent albums since then!
Thanks SB, if only effortless was in more plentiful supply! Just getting into RW's new CD just now, so not rushing to judgement...but I assume a few more listens will confirm its up to scratch.
