AArrrrrgggghh! I had asthma for 36 years and smothering in such things as spider webs was a special horror. Cleaned out my lungs of coffee and cigarettes 38 years ago Healthy as an ox.

I'm afraid very strong black coffee and ciggies are still my main addictions, apart from your oogie of course. Thanks for the comment, Wes.

I am puzzled by the new theory that a thought appears to be generated a micro-second before we are aware of it. I haven't quite made up my mind what this signifies. I wrote this a few weeks ago but overlooked it. In fact there were 24 poems I'd missed. Some of these are beyond repair, one is a particularly vicious portrait of a Lady, quite funny but not if she saw it... the rest are in for retreads. I tend to chuck a lot away. If it's not going anywhere it's in the bin! That's for your comments. the essence of consciousness is fascinating. You explore it yourself quite brilliantly. Tom
