who have been left behind


disregarded



still intact


"i do this" - sort of thing



washing on the line


behind the interview


all mountains


necessary to overcome

see the neo-

see the neo-avant-garde instrumental-
ists the avant-garde as art, i hear men
pretend dogs baying under the market
house. it's the status of their products.
burger theory of the avant-garde not
the consciousness artists have. the
two
girls continue their clapping song
at the top of the helter-skelter. the
mother with the son on her lap swings
back and forth. the rock star in his
glasses remembers his autograph. all
is well.lastyear.

car park tarmacadamed
dead square
maze-high hedges clipped
neat peoples
exit via
staggered opening at the back
cars tightly packed
i dream these
smoke and mirrors
sliding panes
illusions made
by your dad
see the coin in the fountain
its clarity defines you thus
going by shining
overlain
clear shimmer
blue moving convivial
on a warm afternoon towards
april's end
o hat of optimism
- in the dark bar he said that and she smiled
believing or unbelieving whatever
she couldn't comply -
briefest glance
small gold sun
as an economical gesture
towards new life
starting now in the flow

sound

mellow
melts
deep'n'rich pick
giving and resisting
thumb and finger
