It is a rule in my life that my haircut always has to be cool.I love the buzz of the electric clippers round my ears as my hairdresser Dennis the Menace fixes me up with the latest cool style.
My descriptive video is about a dumb kid who eats a mushroom that is a special species of intelligent fungus. The thing goes to his brain, of course, and he becomes super-intelligent. But does he give some to his girlfriend...? Tune in to the next exciting instalment of FUNJELLY THE INTELLIGENT FUNGUPUS.
I love art so when Ms Rubenach said I had to write a poem I decided to make it an art poem. Well, she called it a visual poem. I think Ms Rubenach said I ought to put it in some sort of competition but I didn't think it was good enough for that. One day I'll make the perfect picture. Then I won't mind what competition it goes in.
But about the visual poem...
I thought it should have some words to do with poems in it--like haiku, etc. Then I thought of the poem being written up on a billboard beside a highway. I started to think of my ideas about the Tar-baby (see my story) so then I thought: My Tar-baby portraits...just like that! In the end I could see in my mind that I was in a car driving past the billboard at night. Easy.
And now I must confess. I'm afraid of the dark. I will never forget the night of the 20 September 1994 (or probably it was early the next morning)...
