Princess, abdicating
for my good girl
how the king is made a child cannot believe
it is impossible that ambition
to master all things but have nothing to do
in matters of the state of play
the sand we stand on finds infinite fault with it
and I resolve to be the world
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 30 October 1668.
