in verse — A metal hula hoop lies on the floor in the centre of a glass sculpture. Stiff strips 
of plastic are attached to it in a star shape and weighed down by the glass. I crawl into the sculpture, pick up the hoop and start pulling. The glass towers begin swaying precariously and make a horrendous racket when the 
2000 wine glasses, vases, goblets, beer mugs, wine bottles, jars, milk bottles, drinking ­glasses, decanters, tumblers, salt shakers, ­
pitchers, flasks and panes of glass finally ­collapse, tower after tower.
