I
GO TO WORK ON A BRAQUE

2
Youths disguised as stockbrokers
Sitting on the grass eating the Sacred
Mushroom.

3
Liverpool I love your hornyhanded tons of
soil.

4
PRAYER FROM A PAINTER TO ALL
CAPITALISTS:
Open your wallets and repeat after me
HELP YOURSELF

5
Theres one way of being sure of keeping
fresh
LIFEBUOY helps you rise again on the 3rd
day
after smelling something that smelt like
other peoples socks.

6
Note for a definition of optimism:
A man trying the door of Yates Wine Lodge
At quarter past four in the afternoon.

7
I have seen Pare UBU walking across Lime
St
And Alfred Jarry cycling down Elliott Street.

8
And I Saw DEATH in Upper Duke St
Cloak flapping black tall Batman collar
Striding tall shoulders down the hill past the
Cathedral brown shoes slightly down at the
heel

9
Unfrocked Chinese mandarins holding lonely
feasts in
Falkner Sq gardens to enjoy the snow.

10
Prostitutes in the snow in Canning St like
strange erotic
snowmen

And Marcel Proust in the Kardomah eating
Madeleine
butties dipped in tea.

II
Wyatt James Virgil and Morgan Earp with
Doc Holliday
Shooting it out with the Liver Birds at the
Pier Head.

12
And a Polish gunman young beautiful dark
glasses
combatjacket/staggers down Little St Bride
St blood
dripping moaning clutches/collapses down a
back jigger
coughing/falls in a wilderness of Dazwhite
washing
