Three -The Rivals! Covered All In Green-O

undefined^th undefinedundefined

While these are not rushes that green the day, this is the first time Bart Brassica - now with two pin-tack eyes to watch with, has been actually seen with Mr Farmhand and the infamous Frank Winkler. Is that a lily-pad Mr Farmhand is perched on? Rural work comes in many guides, and as we see here a

Bart's Momento Mori - or a Question of Skulduggery Image

Bart's return to Hunterdon County has not been without some posturing, here he has climbed up high on a disused cranium to survey his old haunts. Granny Egg, who says she always suspected Bart of skulduggery, claims he his new complexion is due to plastic surgery, and not as Bart has been putting around, due to his conquering

Breaking News -Bart Brassica has been to Hellebore and is Back Image

Look who Mavis Eggwhistle found pitching in in the Hellebores. Mavis said it is sight for two eyes, and she is more than perplexed, firstly Bart reappears, looking younger than ever, and now with double-barrelled vision. All he has said by way of explanation is that he has been to Hellebore and back. Mavis is not sure, is

Curiosity Cabinet

As a child I thought there was a jewel box hidden in my parent's house, I imagined there was a cache of pink cut glass rings - the ones with adjustable soft metal sizing - laid out in pink foam in the nailed tight plyboard box in my brothers' walk-in robe.

Years later, I realised the box was really the back of the bathroom cabinet. I got a lot of enjoyment out of those pink glass jewels that weren't there. Imaginery treasures are curiously satisfying.

Here is a central point where someone who might be interetested can see what bits of words, some links to work published in journals and ezines, and images that I have made.

Absent Knowledge

We are talking about knowing certain facts,

and he says, I know all that or used to,

it is only that I can’t remember.

Is this not knowing or forgetting

what you know? Perhaps the head holds

a trace of what was there,

perhaps it is there but can’t find

the way out; maybe it was there but left,

or there was a rumour that it was coming

but never did,

like the promised holiday ,

in Pennant Hills. At eight years old

I would lie in bed at night a hardly contained

precipice of anticipation that time

would take me to Pennant Hills and a big house

with a swimming pool. I can see

the façade of the house, the curve

of suburban street, where that house

I never went to might be - or even was.

Though I know I never went, maybe

somewhere, there is an unborn memory

of being there, and I am thwarted by absent knowledge

from enjoying what I did not do.

Bambiraptor

The Going Down Swinging # 25 -special double CD edition has at last unwrappped itself in Sydney, with a lauch at the Last Bastion of Civilisation last Wednseday 25 September. I still don't know what is in this CD it apart from my spoken word poem Bambiraptor as I was incarcarated in an invention called Good Mummydom. I hope every one else had a good time at the launch party.

The fossil Bambiraptor’s importance in the evolutional of dexterity and the dissonant name gave me this rave by Blanche (Street Car Named Desire) - here she makes a play for Bambiraptor believing his tough and powerful persona is lined with tenderness, like Stanley. This poem is one of my bids to get fossils to colonise and take over the myth as the substratum of literature.
