The h2g2 Poem
Created | Updated Nov 5, 2003
A poem I wrote while sitting in the V&A1 during a visit to the capital.
The End of Civilisation: Part 4
China chinks on china.
We sit in a specially - designed space
Designed to subsidise
Through cappuccino and carrot cake
The Canalettos next door.
We eat, we drink, we talk
In subdued tones
Beneath reproductions
(A4 size)
Of works by artists who died
In debt.
