The Thousands

It’s January. Look around you. Look at the peeling skin on your sunburnt nose. Look at ants on hibiscus flowers. Look at your toes in the sand. Look at the colour of peach skin. Look at advanced style. Look at all the sad Christmas trees in the bins. Look at the sky. Look at the condensation on your glass of cold beer. **Look at other people’s parties. Look at legs. Look at stranger’s teeth, they’re really funny. Look at gutters, collars, the elderly, rabbits, twilight, old WOMEN’S WEEKLY magazines, tissues, costume hire shops. Look at me running out of ideas. Minor details are all around you this summer.
