I used to measure my happiness
by the length of time I was at ease
with listening to the serious news
in the mornings, the worse the events
reported and the more smarmy
the 'strong man' political acts
the shorter my tolerance of them.
Particularly Margaret Thatcher.
Nowadays I think of this measure
of un/happiness as '1939 syndrome',
since that is what such news reminds me of.
