we

endeavour to mention 

vintage splatter 

any imperfection

 

Any bi(r)ds placed

does not automatically imply

mother and chick 

are free from defect

 

From creation to the end  

lucite female torso  

men’s interest apparent

a large anodised pear

 

With purple inclusions 

box of erotic ephemera 

bibles in leather binders

schoolgirls’  picture library

 

Update your details

two glass cars 

a house of splendid isolation 

anatomical brain on stand

 

Artist unknown

cultural mask

deserted town, alcohol 

a collection of popular mechanics 

 

Deeds that won the empire

toy soldiers man carrying a sack of paper banknotes

elegant pens, a meat hook

 

An interesting miscellany

incised butterflies

jellyfish example

sleeping beauty single owner

five minutes prior to close

[red elevated flower rolled over]

the fragrant minute for every day
