68 Claremont

the art house

soundings

jab fingers into Lee Perry
dub lapis chunks of sweetmeat
kobi beats roots of chutney
percuss-cuss a big dip o`ruby jam
acid-smear on canvas
drumming up rimshot skin
thumb-smudge eyes & cowbell
vitreous gel chank
scratch double-vision cornea
macula upsetter
optic nerve skank

snake-paintings
on drums-are-dangerous walls
motor-war markings
slithering round
and around
and across
the floor
>>> into a bath
filled with gravel
and a baby’s bootee

 

a little space of peace
amongst hundreds
of angry people
