Only a landing can save us (2)
A lockdown doesn't last for long - here in China, life resumes. Enjoy the clean air while you can Free from engines, noise, and fumes
Only a landing can save us
The ship swoops down, down she comes, a diamond in the dawn, from seven billion chooses One and into her he's drawn The world waits still, all in hush That diamond croons above, flashing woozy with a sun that all who saw would love A trillion trickling chimes atone for crimes to land and sea and everywhere you lift your heads will dance in ecstasy
Ashamed of my feeble compatriots
Look at em, Prof. Yvonne n Joe, thought they could come out here, make a bit of cash, and swan off back 'ome. Now they know the world's riskier than they thought. Bad luck, Prof. n Joe. But please HMG, get us out. Pfft. In the Arab Spring I was in Qatar and any day could've led to a sword-wielding maniac or stoning. Now I'm Far East and any day could lead to disease or blame for disease (yeah, the rumour's the wicked foreigners caused this). We take our chances here. Expecting others to think or care about us, let alone spend money on us, is really feeble, but then what can one expect of academic women and pasty-faced 'men'?
