Well Groomed

The positive psychologist
talked about happiness
his hands very small

Outside trees slept thin fog drifted

Over the road Witton Cemetery:
two men washed a gravestone
to a white fixed point

He told us that we shouldn't
think too much

  4. "Negative" psychologists are probably the one's who aren't prepared to listen and are willing to drive a fork into your eye for speaking too much.. Lovely poem.

  5. Thank you, gentlemen.

    With each slide a little more dies. Gervais was bang on about these people.

    Manik, If I hadn't had a poem to write a fork in the eye would have been the only thing to keep them open.
