ART

I like to look at art like I am looking at something very small that most people can only see with a visual aid. I like to maintain an uncomfortable pose bent from the hip with my mouth in my hand as if I am holding in the secret. I like to withdraw too fast for them to escape and make an offhand comment to a fellow enthusiast, one that will wobble them - 'My God, it looks like someone had a breakdown in Ikea' or 'I don't think I can cope with all this rage - do you have any heroin?' or 'hmmmmm... it's a little bit like being raped isn't it?'.

once I went to see some ART and they had an ART film on in a special blacked out room, when I arrived the film had just started and everyone was in the pitch black

the lady in charge said to me there are some seats over there >>
and did a gesture into the darkness with her torch
and then left me there in the dark, in the middle of the pitch black room with ART people on chairs all around me
tutting
because i was in the way
i cried

and my mum had to come and pick me up
