Unbroken

No more of this artless ferreting.
My handbag is giving up.
Love isn’t fair, victory becomes regretting.
Placid, churned up, lodestone air
Tangled in netting.

Old fingertips aren’t caterpillars anymore,
Tracing sugar trails through our old arching lines.
Breakfast promises, delicate touches,
And precious, dainty flaws.

Beneath a twilight canopy,
Across ground crowded with talking and fight-wonky trash.
Roving quantum sight tripped over stodgy sofas
To gleam the first long glare
Of unbroken.

The Duchess

THE DUCHESS – 28/29/30 NOVEMBER 2007
A unique devised performance.

“Are you the performer I ordered? If not I’m quite glad because I’m not sure if a performer would really suit me. O, ha, no, of course, you’re from the catalogue. Sorry, how terrible. Well, if you can walk then go over there and I’ll ignore you while the thought of you claws inside my mind, if that’s ok?
Thanks.”

Sit down. Stand Up. Buy a pint. Keep moving. There’s a map, and a key to all of these L.I.E.S. but how do you know what is best to know? You don’t. Why wait for all the buses to come at once when you could eat pills and run loving? Sit down. Stand up. Buy a pint. Keep moving.

Ten performers, one space, you and me in this together.

I Serve the Duchess.
Advertising First Love.
You Serve the Duchess.

We All Serve the Duchess.
