you can make a mark with anything
anyone can
a penny inscribes a limousine
blow your nose
and the whole carriage looks
tiny Cuchulain and Caligula each
took on the sea
they are gone
but we remember
make a minute's silence
don't bore me with science
and explanations
a birch leaf turns
just for the hell of it
can't help
but tickle the sky
For a second I thought you had radically changed your gestural technique. And I thought birch, odd - then realised you are not in Australia - just an instance of my worry about what Bauman calls 'liquid modernity.' And you make me feel guilty, I have written about WW1 and missed yesterday's silence. I like the discursiveness succinctly demonstrating we see marks everywhere.
