Corpoetics
Corpoetics is a collection of ‘found’ poetry from the websites of well-known brands and corporations. Nick has visited various company websites, found the closest thing to a Corporate Overview, and then set about rearranging the words into poetry. You can read a few extracts here.

The boy that amazed you.
The date that got you.
The hands that shared you.
The tears that burst you.
The wonder you shared –
now the public eat it,
using spoons, forks, hands.

You’ve got that dreamy look on your face.
You want to career down a mountainside
in a perspex ball: shake up the days,
dazzle the world with your escapades.
You wake up here, in a shabby career,
in a perspex ball, not travelling at all.
