"Art in the 'Offal' world (awful world of junk)
in the kitchen sink
deep in the pockets of some
there are the art works
every one
extraordinary
fantastic and
also humdrum
look there lies a brontosaurus
or is it a pair of false teeth
it looks like someone
who's bitten a snake
or a cracked open
an earthquake hole
what do you think?
There
when you least expect
to see art
up a tree, in the park
down a manhole
just see
stand on your head
wash your hair
bubbles are there
shapes pop
nothing escapes
my keen visionary glare
where the worm walked
there is silvered
a layer
of slime
making paintings
so terribly fine
and sticky
that history's
made with an opening fuss
at the exhibition
in the old bus
just look
and don't make
a fuss.
The dustbin's full of junk
and art is such a funk
blow a hole in the wall
in the shape of it all
and its art, what? Art!
Stretch a line
double its length
and tie it onto the hedge
sit on the road
reciting a code
of elegant words
on a pyre
of the fire with the smoke
rising up and
a baggage of muck to deliver
to farmer Giles
oh the stench
that's art
no what do you mean
when its smells
oh hells bells
I can't follow the stream
they're to busy with firs in the bogs
and the logs on the fire
make a glow
and then its all
covered in snow.
