reminds me of a plot from Hitchcock\'s fun thrillers
titled \'Rear Window\'
only your story is seemingly set in the UK
and based on a grim reality..
an engrossing read Jerry, thank you
kinda makes me want to know
if you developed a detective character
would it be hapless/clueless type like Columbo
or a Sherlock-esque self-centred genius
or that intuitive Jessica Fletcher from murder she wrote?

L. B. Mek said:

yup, I can so relate to this poignant wording
of Poetically brunt and unfiltered truth
in our somewhat warped valuation of Art, Jerry..
and then, those splinters - that dig deep
under our thin layer of bruised - skin
lingering to torment, us
with unrealistically ambitious mirages
of self-doubting inadequacy\'s: futile musings...

The extremes seems to be empowered - we better take notice, lest we loose freedom itself

A powerful write here Jerry, it would seem that elected \"suits\" will never learn!

Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

Reads well but I have too little knowledge to make sensible comments about USA politics (other than to say i wasn\'t a fan of Mr Trump).

Thanks, L.B.
I am so jealous, cannot get that many words out of one thought.

(What can I say Jerry
you\'ve inspired another rant/scribble
out of me today,
how incisively worded your Poetry: Roars
in my mind, thank you)..
People need to stop reading George Orwell
he was working: \'for Them\', to begin with
and more importantly
while they\'re busy watching and plotting
remember: we\'re doing the \'Living\'!
and in a blink, \'They\' and \'We\'
will arrive at that benchmark, 60\'th cake
and \'we\'re all\' left thinking, the same
\'who Fck\'n cares: anyway!
the best laid plans of mice and men
are there for us to excavate
in those Great Empires: of Sand...\'
In the words of that great sage and poetess
Sylvia Plath: from \'Ennui\'
\'Tea leaves thwart those who court catastrophe,
designing futures where nothing will occur:
cross the gypsy’s palm and yawning she
will still predict no perils left to conquer.
Jeopardy is jejune now: naïve knight
finds ogres out-of-date and dragons unheard
of, while blasé princesses indict
tilts at terror as downright absurd.\'
(so then let\'s boil some water
and sip our way, through the next batch
of inhumane horror
they\'ll be trying to introduce into our lives
one way or another)

Reassuring it is not LOL. I was trying to think of something compareably ridiculous but couldnt.

The gym may be open but I once thought about going to the gym but went and lay down in a darkened room until that thought went away.

L. B. Mek said:

this is when your style shines, Jerry
incisively acute, frugal word choices
making metaphorical incisions in our memories
to unravel and awaken, those untameable: emotions...
Brilliant, in its unassuming simplicity
of accessibly worded relatability!
thank you
