Early stroll. I am briefly defined by a car’s headlights. A red plastic spade leaning against a wall. A passenger on the bus is almost as big as his headphones. It is as though this morning has been found in a secret pocket. That still cat.

Early stroll. Those clouds look like paintings of old snow. Two leaning streetlights like cocktail sticks in a pot. A late/early Christmas tree in a window. Am I on the fringes of that passing motorbike’s dream? I break a puddle’s fragile window.

I’ll just set sail
On this inland sea
Made just for me,

Looking forward to my trip to the Festival Hall later to introduce the TS Eliot Prize readings. I’d better polish up my gags and aphorisms!

Early stroll. That tree seems almost too big for that garden. A TV plays to an empty settee. Those puddles definitely haven’t shrunk in the wash. Unusually, the dentist’s lights are on; they shine like teeth. This weather as animal: drizzly bear.

Early stroll. That dropped sock is a foot long. Blue bins like geometric representations of summer sky. That parked car is usually facing the other way. Birdsong’s vivid aubade. If I name that ill-lit bus shelter as weird it becomes weird.
