Sea-weed

(2006) Undulating sea-weed emanating from a pumpkin seed will never bleed but discover greed because what it needs is light to spark its growth out of sight into the pea-green night where it will soon take flight and become the un-known eel which noone can touch or feel or ever begin to peel the layers of the eels paper skin and toss them in the bin revealing the undulating twin of the sea-weed with a grin because the sea-weed will be gone long before the pea-green dawn when the sun first covers the lawn

glue

(2007) as the piles of wandering elmers glue crept down through holes in the floor the truck knew just what to do it drove through the cellar door to catch the drips of white goo. But as the truck drove down the street noone realised what heat would do to dry the glue into a sheet of milky white leather for you. Just then it started to rain and the glue began to melt and slosh around the truck and soak into the felt and then the sun came out and the felt was stiff.

every leaf

(2009) tomorrow every leaf on every tree will rise up and revolt! against the solid bronze bolt! because today it gave them a teriffic jolt! when the bird that carried it had feathers that began to molt! all at once in mid air which made the bird drop the bolt! from sixteen thousand feet straight down to a large thich hunk of steel making a sound that could wake up an orange peel.

potato farm

(2008 I think) the potato farm was a front for a secret plot to build a row-boat which is against the law in the bad lands beyond the hills. As each board was replaced from the side of the barn it was used to plank the hull which was hidden in a secret cave. The police never suspected when the farm was inspected during the day-time when the door to the cave was covered with grass. Noone was allowed to build a row-boat because they sometimes get covered with  strange alien bugs that eat the fruit from the trees.

desires

(1998) delicate bundles of spoons hang from slowly turning wheels the size of blackboards. on the floor a car, carrying a box of green colored water, rolls slowly, stealthily down an inclined track. the spoons once heard the dripping green during the time of strain when the box might have missed its turn on the track. a few drops of green spilled onto the pollished floor when the car floated slowly down, suspended by a balloon and almost missed the track brought by the rotating fingers of an aluminum car body, these packages of desires are considered sacred enough to be voted apon by the government, and allowed to be blown by the wind. each aluminum finger that carried the desires will flatten itself and become known by the government as a secret made of a hollowed canoe made from the trunk of an exotic tree.

Japanese tourists

(1998) on the corner of Charles street and Beacon, a group of Japanese tourists take turns rotating a small hand crank in the side of a brick building. They do not know that they are causing a chandelier, with arms supporting bowls of water, to rotate slowly through point zero seven degrees for every seven turns of the hand crank. in each bowl of water, a single watermellon seed floats and is held in place by an anchor made from a paper clip and a piece of thread.
