Like a Ladder Nailed to the Floor


   ‘You can’t easily rob language of its utility,
   and if you did – where would you put it?’

I have a machine to drain language of meaning;
to denude the outer surface of linguistic purpose.

The surface area of truth;
the square-root of a square being a pair of parallel lines.

Symphony for castanets and hummus sandwiches.
Gift-wrapped monkey boulevard.

Symphony for car-horn and assault rifle.
Concerto for flute and woodpecker.

Cosmonaut ballet.
The importance of not being important.
