Kickstarting Your Research Career

(for Cluny Macpherson)


“Her heart was in perfect condition – in fact I have it over here …”
– C.S.I.

i – Spreading Yourself Around

I started to get involved
in cruising

How is it
Filipino boys

work in the laundry
Dutchmen

on the bridge?
Ships plying

the Pacific
as the sun goes down

my page

ii – Entertaining the Visiting Professor

I took him to the zoo
he was bored

I took him to the museum
he was bored

we all took bets
as he nodded off

on whether his cigar ash
would set fire

to his crimpoline suit
