DAMIAN GARSIDE

COMMANDO

The World has

closed


even here in

driest Africa


the World

has closed


but hey, who

is here to

stop me

trying to prise it open

with my leather jacket, T-shirt

(royal blue) and

all of 20lbs lighter


more mean-machiney therefore

paradoxically and

for ease of use (just

flow into

action)

simply

traveling commando

weapon locked and loaded

primed for the

absurd possibility, contingency,

of unexpected delight.
