Redshift/Blueshift (Five Islands, 1988);   Listen to the Poet Read |
I am ignorant about art it makes me wordless tongueless unable to swallow anything I always look at the frames instead because the edge is obvious and I avoid your studio because of all the unframed things I cannot understand how you do not eat the cadmium yellow or phthalo blue or why you don't prime your face brilliant white I have never understood red and black seems too theoretical so what this portrait is I have no idea though the frame has one or both of us enclosed there is me but then perhaps we look like one another you are the one with the frame catching things to paste down with twigs of colour I am the one illustrating a fear of edges punching out black absences from white pages
