Above your breakfast table<\/p>\n
there is a poster which reads<\/p>\n
MAI 68<\/i><\/p>\n
DEBUT D\u2019UNE LUTTE <\/i><\/p>\n
PROLONGEE \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
you like it only for its graphics<\/p>\n
white on red<\/p>\n
in your loo there is a poster of<\/p>\n
Gavrilo Princip<\/i><\/p>\n
only he is allowed to watch you shit<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You have lines from Gibran<\/p>\n
tattooed on your shoulder<\/p>\n
but ignore the Bible<\/p>\n
(given to you as a child)<\/p>\n
and use it as a door stop<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You have fucked most of your friends<\/p>\n
(both female and male)<\/p>\n
and are considered sluttish<\/p>\n
by nearly all of them<\/p>\n
yet you only search<\/p>\n
for the dynamics of love<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You consider yourself attractive<\/p>\n
but play down your looks<\/p>\n
by always looking shabby<\/p>\n
as you know this is chic<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your flat is trendy<\/p>\n
but you know it to be sad<\/p>\n
as only you share<\/p>\n
it\u2019s beating heart<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You have travelled well<\/p>\n
to Greece, Spain and beyond<\/p>\n
but prefer to visit Guildford<\/p>\n
as often as you can<\/p>\n
(and revisit your childhood)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You use your swing<\/p>\n
on your visits home<\/p>\n
and are sometimes pushed<\/p>\n
by your father<\/p>\n
now dead<\/p>\n
yet still handsome and grey<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On Mondays you travel by tube<\/p>\n
to your tedious desk<\/p>\n
and dream of the extermination<\/p>\n
of the senior managers and their acolytes<\/p>\n
(as slowly as possible)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your email address is Maud1965<\/p>\n
after the Patten poem<\/p>\n
but you do not use it much<\/p>\n
as your colleagues bore you<\/p>\n
with their petty lives<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You long for art and revolution<\/p>\n
but do not know where to seek them<\/p>\n
you sketch a great deal<\/p>\n
but your self portraits<\/p>\n
always show the emptiness of your gaze<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And you abandon them<\/p>\n
to the Princip Room <\/i><\/p>\n
where they hang loosely<\/p>\n
held by sticky tape<\/p>\n
and watch you shit<\/p>\n
in the presence of the young Serb<\/p>\n
