Bronte's Inferno XXXI (It's Just Lazy, Isn't It?)

There really isn't any point in starting here. You really need to start at the beginning, which you COULD find via a link at the end of this one. Yes, you could begin at the end... image is PD from OpenClipArt.com ... But I drew on it.

very much. You've a good eye for small town life. I knew lots of Bindys when I was that age. It was funny when they came back, they looked the same but they were very different. I never really understood it until I joined the RAF at 21 and went...

A slice of history, almost 40 years ago. I was in uniform then, Air Force blue, but admired those at Faslane and Greenham. Futile in the end, but what days of innocence and belief.

A splendid depiction of ourselves as a parasitic blight on Gaia itself. Skilfully done and with possibly the first use of 'Agrestal' I've ever seen in a poem.
