No change in circumstances
Yours, Amanda from Prudential
She reminds one of Georgina Clough (fifty years back)
Because Georgina’s father was also in insurance
And that’s the annual review over
A letter will be in the post
4% is the expected growth after charges
No change in circumstances
And that’s the annual review over
Have another good year
Be thankful for the last one
Be more thankful for the next one
Be more thankful for the next one
And may your health improve
May your frozen shoulder be cured
Because Georgina’s father was also in insurance
Be thankful for the last one
4% is the expected growth after charges
May your frozen shoulder be cured
She reminds one of Georgina Clough (fifty years back)
Have another good year
A letter will be in the post
And may your health improve
Yours, Amanda from Prudential
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by

Cube 7: Left, bottom, front, top, back, right
Bound up
In the dark dawn
Of deep introspection
Freed up
By the light-hearted
Freed up
By the blue-sky thinkers
Little fluffy clouds
Of outright avoidance
In the dark dawn
Where real stuff happens
By the light-hearted
Of outright avoidance
Bound up
Take to the hills
Take to the valleys
Take to the valleys
Of deep introspection
Where all might not be imagined
Little fluffy clouds
Take to the hills
Where real stuff happens
Where all might not be imagined
By the blue-sky thinkers
In the dark dawn
Of deep introspection
Freed up
By the light-hearted
Freed up
By the blue-sky thinkers
Little fluffy clouds
Of outright avoidance
In the dark dawn
Where real stuff happens
By the light-hearted
Of outright avoidance
Bound up
Take to the hills
Take to the valleys
Take to the valleys
Of deep introspection
Where all might not be imagined
Little fluffy clouds
Take to the hills
Where real stuff happens
Where all might not be imagined

Cube 7: Right, left, bottom, front, top, back
On the home straight
Half a box of boxes to go
It’s been a fun journey
Not only for me
No, others have joined in
Taken the idea to their hearts
Shoehorned in their old poems
Even begun anew; completely fresh stuff
Or older stuff on a new canvas
Even begun anew; completely fresh stuff
Not only for me
But in the spirit of collaboration
In the life of the moment
Taken the idea to their hearts
Half a box of boxes to go
Or older stuff on a new canvas
In the life of the moment
No, others have joined in
On the home straight
To loud applause and cheers
To loud applause and cheers
Shoehorned in their old poems
It’s been a fun journey
But in the spirit of collaboration
Half a box of boxes to go
It’s been a fun journey
Not only for me
No, others have joined in
Taken the idea to their hearts
Shoehorned in their old poems
Even begun anew; completely fresh stuff
Or older stuff on a new canvas
Even begun anew; completely fresh stuff
Not only for me
But in the spirit of collaboration
In the life of the moment
Taken the idea to their hearts
Half a box of boxes to go
Or older stuff on a new canvas
In the life of the moment
No, others have joined in
On the home straight
To loud applause and cheers
To loud applause and cheers
Shoehorned in their old poems
It’s been a fun journey
But in the spirit of collaboration

Cube 6: Bottom, right, top, back, left, front
Too sensitive by half
Way too insensitive to boot
The introverted extrovert
The pessimistic optimist
The caricature of character
The player of many parts
The part of many players
The introverted extrovert
The disguise of disappearance
The re-appearance without thought
The caricature of character
The expression of express reaction
The expression of express reaction
Slow down now why don’t you
The part of many players
The pessimistic optimist
The re-appearance without thought
Let be what will be
Slow down now why don’t you
Way too insensitive to boot
The disguise of disappearance
Let be what will be
The player of many parts
Too sensitive by half
Way too insensitive to boot
The introverted extrovert
The pessimistic optimist
The caricature of character
The player of many parts
The part of many players
The introverted extrovert
The disguise of disappearance
The re-appearance without thought
The caricature of character
The expression of express reaction
The expression of express reaction
Slow down now why don’t you
The part of many players
The pessimistic optimist
The re-appearance without thought
Let be what will be
Slow down now why don’t you
Way too insensitive to boot
The disguise of disappearance
Let be what will be
The player of many parts
Too sensitive by half

Cube 6: Front, bottom, right, top, back, left
The reality is here
And he is the only one
Even in the chattering silence
Which cannot be denied
Which cannot be denied
Even if
Even if no one reads this
Or no one is thinking anymore
About the good old days
Even in the chattering silence
Even with left-field thinking
Even if no one reads this
The reality is here
Here, deep in self-denial
About the good old days
Or hopes for the future
Or hopes for the future
With footsteps on warm beaches
Even with left-field thinking
Or no one is thinking anymore
Here, deep in self-denial
And he is the only one
With footsteps on warm beaches
Even if
And he is the only one
Even in the chattering silence
Which cannot be denied
Which cannot be denied
Even if
Even if no one reads this
Or no one is thinking anymore
About the good old days
Even in the chattering silence
Even with left-field thinking
Even if no one reads this
The reality is here
Here, deep in self-denial
About the good old days
Or hopes for the future
Or hopes for the future
With footsteps on warm beaches
Even with left-field thinking
Or no one is thinking anymore
Here, deep in self-denial
And he is the only one
With footsteps on warm beaches
Even if
