ABSCESS
Been away, absent, from the University Residency with a tooth abscess. I looked abscess up: from the latin for going away, separating. Absent is also from latin but from a dfferent root: to be away, not present.
Looked up the latin for the vegetable names: tomato is Solanum lycopersicum; leek is Allium porrum; pea is Pisum sativum.
All this reminds me of school again, roots of words, latin lessons; and of The School for Artists that we constructed on the Allotment Residency. School has framed my life- born in a school, can't seem to leave school, always want to learn more.
