Objects on a table
Three, grouped
A rabbit skull, a vase, a lamp with a fancy cable.
Carefully curated objects
Placed on a table.
The person who put them there
Is photographed sitting
With ankles crossed, on a Phillip Starck Chair
With their hair ironed flat
And their cuffs turned back
Carefully curated objects
Grouped on a table, posed against the black.
A mouse, posed by the taxidermists hand
Placed under glass
Shiny, tiny black glass bead eyes fixed
Tiny paws clutching a wand
Brown ears squashed by a witches hat
A whimsey
Carefully curated by an artist
Sat on a bench holding a marmalade cat.
A dirty hallway
Letters in a pile, spilling through the flap
An old pair of slippers, worn thin
On the wall a peeling print of a worldly map
Carelessly uncurated
Granddad dead in his armchair
An uncashed giro in his lap.
