Poem integral to the Work
Once upon a Carboniferous Period time
COMPRESSEDSHELLSBONES of billions of wee sea creatures
made the sea bed, then
were lifted high into the sky
by gargantuan planetry forces
a millimetre a year…….
over millions of years…….
I sit for a minute upon on this ancient gray graveyard in the sky
contemplating eternity while
digesting a Milky Way

It’s a magical place on Birkrigg, all those years of history under your feet. Hard to take in really that so much time has passed and yet nothing has hardly changed there.

Indeed, so maybe ye olde limestone needs bringing up to dada date via the addition of a babe in a wetsuit with DADA plastered on her chest, standing on a surfboard on one of those “waves”….
How DadAisTic is that!
