In front of gathering clouds, you curtsey for the tilted, out of focus obituaries of certain haircuts, and commit cold promises to unearthly hues of empty car parks, wearing clothes you can’t outgrow. Under all those roofs [in the bars and schools] they are working hard on ways to reach new moons. And they’ll crowd around screens and struggle fiercely for the front seats, leaving desks and tills unmanned. And they’ll sit outside and scan the skyline for a distant plume of smoke. Oh, I plan to send terrifying messages in lightning like trembling old-fashioned handwriting. So, fold up your folding chair and lower your loaded stare – there’s nothing but dark and dust out there. I swear that the drive home knowing that your life’s work takes longer than a life’s worth must really hurt, with the leaves changing colour and stuff.
