nngh back

Ignore extraneous noises that bother you. They will soon move on and bother someone else. (Such as a dust cart). On wet days, don’t take the bike. On bright days, don’t be too lazy not to. Keep your own council; trust your heart; think feelingly; feel with thought. Whatever that means. The day after you were born, your mother said that in your sleep you were reliving your difficult birth. You muttered to yourself, something impossible to make out. What were you muttering? The world will never know. You have already survived an indirect bump on the head by a wayward light fitting; falling over on a Canadian tube station to be greeted by a maniac clapping; a nameless birth. All this, not a three days old, still smiling. On the phone, you made a tiny sound, just a nngh sound, something like that. You had been home half an hour; finally getting to know how it feels like on the outside.
