You turn the corner, you walk round the corner, yr just strolling really, everything's calm,

yr in control, you don't doubt life's not a bed of roses really, all creamy and peachy, but

all things considered it could be worse, anyway yr on the way back 6 pack in plastic

bag 6 for 5! Yr set up for the day, you've got work to do, maybe buy an egg roll later

bam bam bam-bam-bam-bam-bam! Here we go! Let's go! So you just stroll round the

corner and BANG! Yr studio's gone! Gone! Your lovely studio is gone! Disappeared into

thin air! One minute you have a fully functioningthe next it's gone!

Crack! The furies collide...Rewind the tape...I said rewind the tape...watch...watch...stop

it there! See it? Just there! See it! One minute it's there, the next it's gone! Solid Goooorn!

Make some overtures...Put the tape in...On the surface you've got a few things going on,

but underneath...We are endeavoring to find the tipping point, the Archimedean point a

hypothetical vantage point from which an observer can objectively find the subject of

inquiryThats it! Thats the 1! The ideal of removing oneself from the object of study

so that one can see it in relation to all other thingsthe plumb line....the dowsing ....the

rods are crossing, the red light beeping! Emergency! It won't stop the search for

origins a memorial memory components allow a full reconstruction it's not just the

decisive event, the crucial act, the moments leading up to, the roads leading in and out,

it's the things said and felt and what i didn't say, what she didn't say...something

happened, what happened...dodgy deals circumlocutions dead ends In search of lost

time lost in translation in search of the lost recording send, save, receive, delete,

select all, copy, paste, copy, copy, trash...Yr memory box is full please delete

messages Let's forget it the channel is stuck, you are stuck at home, awaiting the

bang-bang-bang of the bailiffs at the door all of your appliances are facsimiles of

appliances...the cooker is not a cooker, the fridge over there is not a fridge...all you have,

all you are left with is Sky Sports News where the most important, earthshattering news

today is...it calms you, all is well, nothing is as bad as it seems should X sign for Y or

Z? It's a tough question and on balance...on balance...I think..I would prefer not too...Just

think that we got here along a straight line...a long straight road...no-no-no a river muddy

undulates, a wavy line, a bump pregnant a speed trap Rubenesque curvaceous a

sharp edge a knife an incision men in rolling hills, women living in phallic trees

fate - a downward trend an arch gravity's rainbow a screaming against the sky- Oh

I dont know.Funny things happen down on the farm! Nazi lampshade flesh. Turkey

twizzler. Chick stick. Drumsticks. Drummers! They drum it into you. Billy Bones. The

skeletons rattling. feed us! feed us! Insert banana into bread roll.
