[00:19.38][00:01.00]
[00:21.14]Today I found a baby’s glove
[00:27.60]
[00:27.90]Lying on the drainage board so still
[00:32.86]
[00:34.66]Yesterday a leather glove
[00:40.83]from the slim hand of a woman
[00:48.31]The next time I saw one it was lying
[00:53.23]half frozen and twisted on the kerb..
[00:57.64]and I...
[01:04.35]
[01:08.74]Now I have my own private collection
[01:15.32]All lined in rows when you open up the wardrobe doors
[01:21.89]Now I have no room for my obsession
[01:29.00]Lined up and labelled in neat little packets
[01:35.40]
[01:35.55]The next time I saw one it stuck
[01:39.84]inside my head and became all that I
[01:45.61]could think about
[01:47.96]
[01:52.45]I’ll think twice before I pick it up this time
[01:56.77]
[02:05.58]A hand through my ribcage
[02:08.42]Past the choking I saw palms
[02:11.13]and fingers grasping shoulders...
[02:13.65]collarbone...crushing
[02:16.17]I imagined myself hacking desperately
[02:18.80]at a sea of appendages,
[02:20.60]forward and right,
[02:22.07]freeing myself like a butcher,
[02:24.77]feeling the mash of bone
[02:26.45]and sinew running slowly down the front of my body...
[02:31.13]and I couldn’t take it any more,
[02:33.57]I said, I’ve got to go,
[02:35.28]I’ve got to get out of here,
[02:37.18]I’ve got to go,
[02:38.65]and I ran down the street,
[02:40.44]I’ve got to go,
[02:42.04]I’ve got to get out of here,
[02:43.51]I’ve got to go..
