The cut is put together first
with mud and ivy
with broken up wood
Behind the sycamore there lies
brown plastic garden throne
up top a smashed up PC
cracking a screen smile
decomposing stump with
ecstatic upside-down
mushroom beard
All trees are unreasonable
slips of torn porno mags
(paper trail for boy hard-ons)
Spilt milk, coagulate!
Make sour and paint along!
dead beer cans strewn
with here and there teeth
sleepers on their sides
The woman and man run fast
dispassionate
sweat sheen
that fixed portable distance
two junior solicitors or something
Under the higher arch
blackened geometric
dirty grandeur working
Come down from between the houses
into the boring streets
Grand evocation of the place and its variegated contents, human and other.
ReplyDeleteThis urban fox along the Harborne Walkway appears to be on the lookout for sweaty robotic junior solicitors, at a fixed portable distance.
And the tunnel cut through the Walkway seems it might offer a safe harbour for indigenous (fugitive) wildlife -- not to mention a receptacle for discarded electronic trash best kept out of the light of day.
Thank you, TC.
ReplyDeleteThat fine fox would do well to keep his distance fixed.
We're very lucky, having this wild, unruly corridor so close to hand.
And we're lucky to have such a fine tour guide!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vassilis! At this very moment, I'm wearing my special tour guide cap and epaulettes.
