Roving Poetry

Joel McKerrow wanders the library, spilling words as he goes, or offering something personal just for you.
Image of a city scape of large buidings. The image is taken from street level towards the tops of the nearby buildings and the whole side of the large building in the centre of the picture has the image of a man performing a magic trick. He is wearing a tweed jacket, grey vest, white shirt and bow tie. His hair is neatly combed. Cards are flying in neat procession from one out reached hand to the other and whisps of smoke highlight the right hand side of the image on the building. As he performs this trick his face is notably absent of expression or emoation, though his eyes seemed to be looking directly down from the building to where the photo was taken.
