\n 
\n1.
\nAs I walk over the bridge
\ncity on my right
\nI see a man staring into a woman’s eyes
\nwhen I look again
\nI see how old he is
\nand how young she is.
\nThere must be twenty five years between them
\nbut it could be a hundred
\nfor all he cares.
\n 
\n2.
\nIn the national theatre
\nI look at a young woman as she sits down
\nshe spits on her phone
\nthen rubs her finger around the screen.
\n 
\nThen she starts to comb her hair
\nright to the tips as she twists it at the end
\nthen she starts to talk to her hair.
\n 
\nPerhaps she is annoyed with it
\nhaving a bad hair day.
\n 
\nThen a man sits next to her
\ntoo close for it to be mean anything else than they are together.
\nThen they get up and walk off
\nwithout ever having said a word to each other.
\n 
\n3.
\nIn the south bank I go and sit in on a talk.
\nIt is about Hayden and a bit about Handel.
\nOne of the women on the panel is a dyke
\nbut the other is hot.
\nI look at her a lot.
\nThe last is a man, academic, American.
\n 
\nThe man talks about the genius of Hayden
\nand the women talks about why he was not as revered as Mozart.
\nThe man tries to defend him
\nThe dyke says she has read his diaries
\nand gives us some examples.
\nHe was boring and that is all it comes down to.
\nA genius can be many things
\nbut he can never be boring.
\nLook at Mozart.<\/strong>

\nMarc Carver Bio:
\n 
\nSometimes I don’t write for a few days and it feels okay but after a few more it doesn’t feel right at all. So I start to look for things and get out of the house more and there they are. Just waiting for me all along.<\/strong>
