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.

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.
