Seamus Heaney says: ‘…I think childhood is, generally speaking, a preparation for disappointment.’

The financial Times we Live in

This work is capturing the view from within the pinkness

The alternating pages scrubbed of text with glue

Mixing and corroding the world dim view

Of what it feels to be sold out

The happiness rec tum tangle of pleasantness

Where to capitalise is a sure fire way to burn the lot

And even salt can’t put it out
