POEMS

Poems tend to come in dribs and drabs to Kurt. Small things like driving behind a car
being driven by an OAP and seeing its speed drop at every corner brings old man driving/
just can't take this speed. The rest has to come when it's ready.

Then there are the poems that were written on separate sheets of paper and are now lost.
They probably weren't much good, although there is one, the final stanza of which sticks
in the memory: iron between my thighs/stars behind my eyes/the orgasmic grimace
disfigures my face/as I slowly come round to the adulterer's disgrace

BITCH (1996)
Dedicated to an ex-fiancee. I was not happy that she decided to break off the engagement, as you might have guessed from the title. A lot of people think the imagery is sexual, but it's actually not supposed to be at all. Well, maybe some of it is. You'll have to decide.

4M (2001)
A poem written for one of those people you get on really well with, but your timing is off when it comes to taking it a step further.

ZERO-G (1993)
A poem written for an independer filmaker friend who had just made a film, entitled, you guessed it, Zero G. Funny how these things work!

I only have a hardcopy, and can I find it? Er, no. You'll see it eventually. Honest.
