thousands of people
making their way North
along al-Rashid Road

wheat pasting
pictures to the walls
so they can’t be moved

I’ll make you
kiss my fuckin trainer
lick it fuckin clean

polysemic love
stacking up stones
like Ugo Rondinone

walking down the street

so so many leaves
and yet one jumps out at us
forty years of love
we keep pulling it out
it keeps coming back

green fingers burned
by the promise of profit
Dyson hoovers up
the green pea market

growth is division
a continuous process
of ignoring the signals

the exchange of fluids
of contracts and verses
photos and files

she pauses a bit too long

every good poet
needs a good businessman
he spends the whole night
