11:21 AM | | Philip Larkin is fanstastic. Here’s another one of my favorites. Reminds me of my own boarding skool experiences. If I were, you know, male, British and at school between the wars:
Or remember how
Black-gowned, unbreakfasted, and still half-tight
We used to stand before that desk, to give
‘Our version’ of ‘these incidents last night’?
Heh. One time, coming in 20 minutes late, I reached up to the clock and moved the minute hand back to 12, right before the Dean barreled her way towards us. “Well, I guess you’re on time,” she huffed. “Barely.”
Dear God, am I getting nostalgic? Next I’ll be wandering around in a white dress singing “auld Lang Syne.”
