Sport 3: Spring 1989
Mental Events
Mental Events
The brain,
a fat grey flower,
blooms
on a stem
of bone.
The colours it desires
are unbounded,
tropical
tasteless
fauve.
It feeds
on darkness
like a flock
of vampires
sucking away.
The whitecollar bosses
require it
to shake hands
with a terminal.
'Up you,'
it cries,
flouncing away
on clouds
of homespun gold.
Bouffant, suave, grouse,
orchestral music
by Handel
skirls through
the tossing hair.
