Today i found a baby's glove lying on the drainage board, so still yesterday a leather glove from the slim fingered hand of a woman.
the next time i saw it was lying half-frozen and twisted on the kerb and i couldnt take it.
now i have my own private collection all lined in rows when you open up the wardrobe doors now i have no room for my obsession lined up and labelled in neat little packets
the next time i saw one it stuck inside my head and became all that i could think about.
and through wax seals and padlocks a hand through my ribcage past the choking i saw palms and fingers grasping shoulders...collarbone...crushing
i imagined myself, hacking desperately at the sea of appendages forward and right, freeing myself like a butcher feeling the mash of bone and sinew running slowly down the front of my body
and i couldnt take it anymore i said "I've got to go, i've gotta get out of here ive gotta go, and i ran down the street ive gotta go, i've gotta get out of here i've gotta go ive gotta go."
