Writing a play, I note this week the relationship between Thackeray's collected 
works and my neck.  Typing from, if not dawn to dusk, at least noon till sleep, 
I have come to understand that the exact height of my computer screen governs 
where the pendulum finishes; on the one hand the relaxation which suffuses a 
body with a pleasant sense of progress, on the other a screaming need for yoga. 
 Between a well adjusted spine and a buggered neck, Thackeray's work piles up 
under; he is the giant upon whose lying my shoulders' stiffness stands.  

A small cut leaves no scar
quiet falls, like snow
the girls are gone from home
