Lines From The Library

Shriekback · Y Years [2006]

Write about heat and then tell Icarus

He got too close

Sucked in the engine of holy ignorance

How could he know?

No such excuse for those who come after him

- Carbon alloy



I've heard say:

"The printed word and the paper it's printed on

- Not worth anythin'. In the time that it takes

To write about doing it, it could be done."

I say 'no' in the oldest formula:

"Fuck this, and fuck you"

If it's good enough for Geoffrey Chaucer

It's OK by me too.



Latent energy in lines of lettering

- One dot a full stop

Swing on a phrase for fresh mobility:

"Mud chokes no eels"

The past and the present, the cheque and the counterfoil

Fill in/tear off

Prop up a point with some lines from the library...

This week's maxim:

"In for a penny, in for a pound" - Information
