There are people
who get all their
ideas from the
unsupported
opinions of
others; have faith
in some religion;
vote fascists into
power; love guns;
don’t vaccinate
children; and hate
women.
Generally these
categories
overlap.

Reading the
life stories of
the famous
achievers of
the past and
present, you
reach a point
where they broke
through, became
recognised,
touched by
genius, ranked
among the
immortals of
literature, or
science, or
film, or art.
But my
breakthrough
moments
were papered
over, muffled,
erased from the
historic
photographs.
So I remain
disappointed
and unknown,
and largely
anonymous.

I love it that I,
distant descendant
of a shrew,
can hold,
gently between my hands,
a chicken,
distant descendant
of a dinosaur.
