there are heroes in the sea weed

At fourteen it was decided that Katy-Harriet wouldn't think of anything else. She was sold fifteen postcards of the Lightning Seeds cavorting on a London Bus by the caricature Wayne Rooney and conducted a visual experiment in colour; within a handcrafted collage of the boys from Westlife. Intention: to stick it on the inside of her locker so that when she put away the overpriced text books (cavorting polished knowledge from the 1980s) she imagined artifice and pretence instead of stipulated knowledge.
