RIP John Donne

No man is an island wrote Donne

centuries ago.

He understood the predicament

understood

that man, or woman

is one part

of a whole

which is one part

of something larger

and so on

into mind-blowing infinity.

No man, or woman can stand alone

and reach their potential 

in isolation

or when isolated

on some small island 

however grandiose

the delusion.

An island alone cannot thrive,

except here in Britain of course,

so it was once said by some.

And now, 

what now

when it stands 

triangulated 

in the centre 

of three egos, 

Trump, Putin 

and Zelensky.

Stuck in the middle

of such super egos,

TPZ Keir Starmer.
