Synchronised swimming
The thrill of colour and thigh moving as one organism the flock veering semaphores black/ white every move’s a calculated mean a darker subjugation individuals are vanishing points on the horizon the technical merit of Gestapo jackboots Our hunger for icons fire water the power of uniformity We’ve seen synchronised humanity In Goerring’s choreography Free thought is rooted out in training The aberrant sent to re-education camp or stood against the swimming pool wall and shot © rob walker. from micromacro, Seaview Press, 2006 and phobiaphobia, Picaro Press, 2007. Also appeared on David Barnes’ Numbat poetry website. I was watching a synchronised swimming event in the Beijing Olympics on TV. This led to an arc of thought involving uniformity and the military state.
