I Got a Rock Nº 16

By | 1 July 1998
I got a rock

then I got another

and I got that other

from the corner of a cave


That other that I got

was of another colour

and another –

it was from another corner of the cave


There was another

from the corner of another cave

and another of the other colour

from another cave


Then I got another rock

from the other corner

but this corner –

it was not the corner of the other cave


And another from another corner

of another colour

of the same colour

as the corner of the other cave


There was another from a corner

of another corner colour

coloured as another corner of another cave


And another in the colour of another coloured corner

was another corner of another other corner cave


And another that I other colour of another other corner

corner of another other coloured corner cave
