Epigraph

Dedication

In memory of my nephew

Michael Mullins (Slim-2 Speed)

who died on 9th December 1999

aged 18 years and 11 months)

First words

Bare Bones

They called me mad.
and I called them mad
and damn them
they outvoted me.

NATHANIEL LEE

The house is topsy-turvy

with the painters

when they knuckle down

me and Lickspittle dislocate

(he's the cat)

his joints are in the hall

skull ’n’ doss-bone

one or two on the stairs

(he's devil jointed)
