      To my beloved sons, Iain and Roderick, who continue to inspire and educate me as they have done for as long as I have known them.

      Contents

      I've Been Thinking...

      What time is it?

      I have a theory

      Five point plan

      Games of love and war

      If I wanted to

      It's a Paradox...

      Am I old yet?

      — Coming, ready or not

      Seventy-five not out

      Grouchy Old Woman

      Anatomy of despair

      Mother William

      But I've Been Here Before...

      My heart is in your keeping

      I can hardly hear you

      A dream

      Obsession

      In defence of the (so-called) Lying Cretan

      For Iain - on the occasion of his 10th birthday

      Song Lyrics

      The singing beetle

      Sometimes I think

      The comeback queen gives herself a jolly good talking to

      A loving hold

      Merry go round of life

      The good old days

      Where the old folk go

      The bottom line

      Australia Fair no more

      When I was a little girl

      Sunsets and kites

      I've Been Thinking...

      A rodent looking at the camera Description automatically generated

      What time is it?

      I am haunted by my present.

      It ghosts me.

      The past is a place that keeps me

      From disappearing into non-existence.

      We are always in the future.

      Everything we see or hear

      Has already occurred.

      To others, we are always in the past.

      No one is an island

      But we are all alone nonetheless.

      And somewhere, always out of reach

      Because of course it's in the fourth dimension.

      There is an Anti-Matter Factory.

      There, clocks are made

      Defining that which doesn't matter.
