'And everything written in sign language is poetry'

(from shop fronts, placards and advertising hoardings on walks between Holborn and Highgate Road circa mid-90s)

Sign Language “…Les Miserables LOUNGE BAR Budweiser toilet COMBAT TROUSERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS…” This inanimate streaming bombardment with movement; Advert-hoarding logos – packed to saturation. Now forced to relinquish each autonomous message, Explode into boundless, fantastic dialogue Billboard, shopfront, flyposter, signage Zig-zag in ricochets of random conversation, Merging in a whirlpooling sea of signs Lining the streets are the signs of life In this dancing life of the signs, And everything written in sign language is poetry
