Plastic Face
The sunny disposition of this outer multilayered cover
Iridescent, freckled, food brush under air intake valve
Noise capturing devices to balance out brain cell container
A surround sound audio system with sub-woofer and base
Great swathes of follicles in need of treatment and repair
Two cameras capturing 3D imagery, with precision
Each slide sent to a film archive storage facility
Current contract for this job is held by Memories 4U
Although there have been a few leaks and shutdowns
There is a review of admin staff roles, redundancies expected
The brain cell container has series expression devices
That gives emotional shapes to its multilayered cover
This also serves to open and close a two way valve
Cooked fuel energy goes in and utter drivel comes out
The whole ensemble, in this case finished off with camera shields
Who would bid for this unique object?
Wonder if Damien Hurst will buy, stick it in plastic, sell for £10.4M
Best not tell him about the expressive devices starting to fail
Some sort of neurological progressive disorder was found
The multilayered cover lacks uniform movement in parts
Gives the piece a sort of solidifying plastic look
You never know it might save Damien a few bob
What am I bid? I have an opening bid from the back there?
“£10.50”
“What was that sir?”
“You’ll throw in a packet of mint humbugs!”
No other bids?
"Sold!"
“Sir, your name?”
‘Damien’ oooooh!
I wonder if that’s a bad Omen?
