Image is Substance
There is nothing magnificent or mysterious in this house
You need feel no awe, no hesitation.
Waitrose and daytime TV
have rotted our souls,
the world's pulse is not felt here.
But the chairs salute us,
frozen palace guards,
defenders 'gainst chaos.
Not even pot plants.
They are alive,
life is always blemished
and the blemished is banished.
Perfect perfect perfect,
everything must be perfect,
so the perfect improvements
on the perfect house
must be even more perfectly perfect
than the original bloody perfection.
So precarious.
Perfectly precarious.
Puffball perfection.
Poof.........

enjoyed this, Dave.. not sure if i was that keen on the tons off perfects in the third stanza as it may have overstated it but enjoyed the piece still...
