Jill H is dancing to Brown Sugar at a party. She holds her sling backs in one hand, a wine glass in the other. As she sashays and dips the room around her begins to melt into a blur of warm orange and brown tones. She is the focus.

I am cutting hair at a bus stop in the rain. Sam F’s friend, Simon, crosses the street and takes shelter. “Is there much of a queue?” I show him a list of names that I have stuck up on the glass. He picks up a magazine from the pavement and says he’ll wait. “Oh, wow,” he says. “You have the final copy of ______ magazine.” (it has an orange cover, a face of some idiot celebrity and the headline ‘Never Mind The Pox!’).

Holly T is shuffling a deck of cards. They are Tarot, of course, but she wears one of those green croupier’s visors. In fact, we are in a casino – flashing machine lights in the periphery. She deals the cards out onto the baize, and the seated players scoop them up and study them. Most have adopted a very strict poker face, but one, an incredibly tall man with red hair, whoops excitedly when he sees his dealt hand. A crowd gathers around the table and now Holly T, rolling up her sleeves – and exposing many handwritten notes on her wrists – says, “Well, no prizes for guessing who’s won this round!” Everyone has to give their cards back and the game, much to everyone’s chagrin, begins again.

    1. Doesn’t it, Liz! To me, immediately that struck me as an echo of ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ – but, yeah, it does seem to be an attitude redolent among many now: an acceptance and a stupidity, too.

      ‘someone left the cake out in the rain…’ -hmm?!

      Hope you are well. xo
