Resistance
to inconvenience an enemy I will not remove my own head
people pray for a head with good countenance
a light head ordinary as a horse
but a foot committed to ignorance
does as much good as a burning head
but I make new words of ash and trouble
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Monday 14 December 1663.
