my life as a artist
point orbit hole

Tom writes in to ask for the number of the pizza place, and tells me that he can draw, in a tone that suggests he's either hungry for pizza, or for Brenda Modigliani. If it's the pizza you're after, Tom, then I salute your enterprise and adaptability, because it's that sort of 'can do' mentality that's just got Barack Obama elected, but if it's because you want to see Brenda naked, then I'd advise caution. Knowing you to be a carnivorous atheist, with no allegiance to Huddersfield Town, I fear that you might be more susceptible to Brenda's erotic charms than I was, and I'd worry that your pencil might go wobbly.
It's all academic anyway, because I'm sad to say that when I was in town on Thursday morning, I noticed that Modigliani's had closed down. When I got home there was a note from Brenda, along with twenty-five special tomato and cheese and ordinary tomato pizzas, lined up at regular and suitable intervals in the conservatory. The note said that her and her boyfriend had to moved to Tuscany, to work at the Helena Bonham-Carter Heritage centre, and her dad had opened a sandwich bar in Derby called 'Modigliani's Sarnies'
One moment the magic validation word is 'point' and the next it's 'orbit'. Change is all around us, it seems, especially if you're a careless busker. One of the most recent dramatic changes, possibly even more dramatic than that of the validation word, is of course, the recent change of the US presidency from Bush to Obama.
On what was a proud day for all people of Irish descent, President O'bama said, 'I promise the American people change, change from hope to change to courage for change, and in a very real way, today, I believe the hope for the courage to dare to hope for change has been replaced with a real promise for hope, and I think we can draw courage from that, and, I hope, hope.'
This afternoon Huddersfield Town beat Leeds United 2-1, and as the winning goal went in, thirty seconds from time, I couldn't help but think of Brenda and her ridiculous doubting of the existence of God. The magic validation word has changed again and is now 'hole', which coming after 'point' and 'orbit', has a certain poetic drive and narrative to it.
POINT
ORBIT
HOLE
It's concise, it's elegant, it's multi-layered and inscrutable. Let's hear it for the ever-changing, magic validation word!

If O'bama is looking for Hope, he'll find it on the A488 just three miles south of Minsterly in Shropshire. Dormice and fossil Trilobites can be found in the area but I don't think the village is large enough to accommodate much of the American population.
