IT'S AT WORK


Again a room:
                           this time a head still
vision expands
                           to guarantee a depth
which places
                           the human on a pedestal.
But what a
                           pedestal. The sports hall
shabby and ill-lit:
                                         the performances
of grand athleticism
                                         framed by
broken chipboard and
                                         loose wiring.
The overlapping lines of
                                         different games
all join in a
                                         pattern thanking
god for the degrading
                                         of the human.
