@TheCatalinalira Only just discovered your comment from 2 months back - it had been flagged as Spam. Outrageous.

So belated thanks are due. Kind regards! Fred.

@Caspar33 Dear Fred, Sometimes I have the same problem with wonderful comments of my friends. I do not know why they were remarked like a spam! I understand your emotions. Thank you, my friend for your deep feelings and fantastic poems again! With warmest wishes, Catalina

Cheers Thomas -in your debt. Torture indeed!

"and I am forced to admit that my office is becoming increasingly recognisable to me now."

This line just sums up perfectly so much that is wrong with the modern person - the torture of banality and sameness.

[ThomasSheridanArts]

Excellent. I am sharing this.

How do you get that old wireless radio sound waylity on your voice? Really adds to the feel of the video. You have a super naration voice BTW.

Excellent and yes, a lot to chew on. A Poet friend of mine calls poems she really likes "chewy." This is very chewy.

I was talking to my 17 year old son the other day about just this sort of thing. Not travelling sales men, exactly, but... well, I shall send this to him. I find this to be an excellent poem, as Idlinfarm said, a lot to chew on. And the production and reading were equally outstanding.

[Caspar33]

@sonofwalt Thanks for that. I'd be interested to know what a 17 year old makes of it all. Very best wishes, FP.

@Caspar33 Thought my first comment didn't take. :) So I guess I liked it twice.

[Idlinfarm]

Uhmm! Wonderful video, great piano and a lot to chew on.

@Idlinfarm Resistance is the key: the Chilean miners have demonstrated this a million times more effectively.

When the blind capitalist world turned to lying without restrictions in order 'to sell', they never saw, and still do not, that it would become a tsunami that would engulf mankind; bring forward the end of life on earth.

@Caspar33 Just got a book from the library 'Packing for Mars,' by Mary Roach, a scientist with a sense of humor.

@Caspar33 Crikey, 'blind capitalist world', funnily enough, the subject of my tirade at my manager today, we never 'lie', we just tell those parts of the truth that suit our version of reality. I must confess to lapsing from good prose and politeness, I might have even used the word 'bollocks' after the phrase 'a load of'.

[Idlinfarm]

Very interesting. I need to listen again.

[Caspar33]

From the Guardian today - 'Mukesh Ambani, India's richest man, builds world's first billion-dollar home. The Mumbai property, named Antilia after a mythical island, comes complete with three helipads. He is having a few friends round to celebrate moving into his new pad. With its 27 storeys and a height of 173 metres it will be a housewarming like no other.'

I like to think that what has been happening in the Atacama desert will bring many to their senses. All the best.

Nice, I enjoyed it.

All the best
