The collapsed addict mother, passed out
under a hedge in

the nineteenth century

knows the colonial economy
in point of fact. The

child a sweet girl
changes into gold out of pure virtue
in a novel by a

woman called George.

Tell the age of a hedge by counting species
how long it

takes the natives to move in.
For the consumption of opium or diet

food
see cultural ideal, see anorexic fix.
There is a

circuit in neurotic behaviour
like racial fear in English literature

Where grazing rights and planted enclosures
are just real

enough to be rented out.
You may continue to use your PIN code
in advance

of the merger, even if
the false body image is politic,
floating on

corporate identity.

It is not enough to be on the fence
one must be inside

using surveillance.
We live on a little muddy island
grow rice, catch fish

and care for our children.
Some very good submissive subjects
only one

previous family now deceased
