after Warhol exhibition, Tate Modern, 2002Maybe you think its going to happen
scene by scene like a comic strip1 static image
repeatedor seen through flickering snowflakes
or coloured gels.God imagines being in a room full of neon cow heads
even my father who slaughtered themevery day for 35 years
would have felt ill.Everyone needs somewhere to rest
look out for seats under signssaying things like
Silenceor When the red light is on
watch yourself carefully then.*
Who tied the knot in the tablecloth
on the trestle table
where Jesus and the 12
ate supper?What was it to remind them of?
