FIVE

the beach where I learnt to
protected from financial failure of clients
always replace the cap after use
Stephen will be at his studio
I didn't hit speed redial, but
we can't operate in a vacuum
has been looted by subsequent armies
without even her handbag, only the
feeling of helplessness remained.  When you
hid in trees behind the houses
as they amputated the arms of
a skunk walks along the pavement
major channels may still seem reluctant
a creamy way to make a living

really I don't use any paint
in the Miles river, for lunch
my art is about life right now
intravenous bags which contain various dyes
once I got the electrical cable
and had to borrow a camera
to help poor people you understand
my work has nothing to do
with flood victims, the two images
"Bob" is a flesh coloured foot
these adventures always begin with xeroxes
the startled little waves that leap
I'd send the government a menu
tomato would be very very expensive

Isaiah Berlin as a boy from
with no central authority or location
the "true blonde at home" series
voices in the stairwell are not
holding a small gun and influential
designed to be used by strangers
those who are navigating between identities
a social landscape will return shortly
the person has two additional faces
do you ever have that feeling?
they are essays without concluding paragraphs
or intrusion then on my part
the patio in 1913.  Later from
her darkest colour is hot pink

over a period of five years
one pupil left via the window
white stars topped his rosy snout
I must live in my lanthorn
sift the contents and rinse well
short-term winners in the abstract
a wide range of obscure practices
ink, pencil, crayon, paper, fabric, newspaper,
printed reproductions, painted paper on canvas
do you talk to the spirits?
please list your duties and responsibilities
feel free to come along at
I heard a fly buzz, then
it crashed into the window pane

a bus on London bridge ignites
they fall.  Nothing!  They go down
a couple of floors but I
have a new policy.  Douglas dead
Uglow's brushwork.  Who was that masked . . .
on a diet of rigs must
preserved in resin but not controlled
Didn't I do this one already?
so much depends on broken biscuits
the distance from Putney to Wimbledon
words that do feelings, really sublime!
They wrapped paper in this money
sawdust fell on the bathroom floor
what do you mean transcendent longing?
