‘Sitting at a laptop creates an image that I carry back.’ (Jay Cool)

A neck with a thousand folds.
A bump harboured by an anxious nose.
A line, puckered into peaks and troughs, of 48 years near gone.

A thought.

It is not me.

Just an image.

An image of another me in another time.

Not me now.

Now, I write myself into being –

smoothing out the lines and carrying them

over and

back.
