Asparagus

She is in season, Mme Asparagus.

Fresher than new grass, as crunchy as Brazilian sand yet more textured than the finest Camembert. O, she is a goddess and appear to me did she in dream, instructing me to appear at a farmers' market this morning and LO THUS I DID.

I now have asparagus, and the smell of my urine correspondingly smells of Listerine. Anything that goes through one so quickly cannot but be good for one.

Post asparagum, I watched History Boys and bawled my eyes out and read Auden and Hardy. God, am I alive.

Nothing better than a good cry to get things in perspective. Which is why I did this.
