I was reminded of 'The Imperfect Enjoyment' by John Wilmott, hence the title. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SophiaMangan/1652425/ I was sat at BFI on Southbank waiting for a friend to arrive, watching the way Londoners move about and comparing how foreign it felt to where I had just been living in Asia. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SophiaMangan/1652422/ Reaching for an object in a dream,you never can quite touch -context unknown, people covered up - knowing there's a face in there;One you can trust,slipping through your fingers;shifting, sifting, never quite yours,more akin to dust.I don't want to lose what I never hadAnd feel attached to that.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SophiaMangan/1651771/
