No-one tells you about the dark side of literary translation, chaining Tunnocks teacakes in a dark room at 3 a.m., flicking fitfully between Orthodox vestments dot com & that list you made of synonyms for sparkle, all the while picking Bombay mix from the folds of your duvet & trying not to pass out

But there's solace a bit in submitting to the fitfully, cryptically true
What's happened has happened, what's coming is already on its way with a role for me to play
And I don't understand, I never understand, but I'll try to understand
There's nothing else I can do

many years ago when I was fitfully studying composition I learned that JS Bach expected his pupils to be able to compose away from the keyboard within 9 months & I asked my teacher how was that possible and he said don't forget that they had no distractions & I'm not sure why I just thought about it
