Please Eat Yourself

This montage was assembled from footage shot in Chicago, New Orleans and Oxford between January 2006 and April 2007. The title image is Tom Raworth's left hand at a family restaurant in Indiana ( 9.21.05). This instance of video-work is intended as a constellation of props at the poem's disposal.


tamil tigers w/ nostalgia for th floor
tom spiked by th left, shadow cabinet warped
round th shadow mugs' hold Turban Jim
havin a go at negotiatin tradecraft brunch
w/ th complete eastern arm a th mujahadeen
givin thumb to th ass a th assholes in front of em
in line for a ribcage to chat over 'n above
o coordinated bump a th grind's daily hum: white
balaclava puddled in th pee of a pentagon janitor
found plans for a hexagonal face. fluid contracting,
post-9/11 viral surge: if we build it, king com cum.
