IF YOU ARE MORTAR

ALONE

If you are mortar, it is hard to feel well-disposed towards to the two bricks you are squashed between, or even a sense of community.

  4. if you are mortar, you realise what power you have that the wall depends upon you to hold two of its bricks together

  5. This post gets by far the most hits on my blog – not because people are interested in Ivor Cutler’s poem, but because so many people are searching the net for images of a brick wall.
    I’m not too sure what exactly that tells us about the state of the world but my guess is that the sentiments of Cutler’s words are pretty relevant :)

  7. That wall is a fake… some of those bricks are identical… I feel sulled. It’s an outrage!
