Christopher Hansard:[ The Real Thing]
The summation of
all of mankind’s
acheivements
can be found
in
the way
a child
understands
the world
and contributes to it
and when an adult on the deathbed
can understand why life was the way it was
and move on
in the river
there floated human excrement
a shoe and an empty bottle
that once contained
‘the real thing’
the real thing
is sought after
it is not that people
seek a greener pasture
they unconsciously
want to sow the seeds
themselves and cut the sprouting growth
by their will
