It's an early spring day and it’s
the only day that I am allowed out of my tomb. It's a shame that they chose to
bury me in my home town. I spent most of my life trying to get away from my countryside
roots so the fact that they chose to bury me there is my damnation for all
eternity. Last year I boarded one of the motor coaches but its occupants spoke
in a tongue that I could not understand. There were many screams and flashes
when I asked ‘Wherefore art thou going?’ followed by a stampede to the exit. So
this year I am just going to follow one of these people in the hope that one of
them mentions leaving for London or asks for directions. And these people are everywhere.
They wander all about the church where I am buried, they wander all over my
birth house as well as my wife’s house. But during the night the streets are
deserted apart from the ones near the theatre where they still perform my
plays. Ah, London, how I miss you?
