Here's my latest film to promote my novel, Long Distance Sleepwalker - a dark comedy about the destruction of empathy by market forces.  If you like it, by all means pass it on.

The Senses

Whenever I hear birds singing
I think it is you and not birds.

Whenever I feel warmth

I think it’s you and not sunlight.

Whenever I smell flowers

I think it is you and not flowers.

Many dawns we will share,

Many sunsets.

Many times we will venture into Sainsbury’s
With our mutual love to protect us

From the rising prices.

Many evenings we will walk back home

From some excursion

And make a comment about the day.

Those times will surely end

But as long as I have my senses

I will think of you.
