the radio adverts - HOOTSVILLE

‘they’re bound to blow your mind -

California Closets dotcom’

or

‘tune into iHURT radio’

and the nature - gatorville, birds of a plumage of a fantastia colourfest, grass green and parched and showing golden piping; the food:

i go in the New York deli at 200 South Orange

and the dude is from Leicester and he says, ‘what car you drive back home?’

i tell him

and he says, ‘i remember Ford Cortinas, Robin Reliants - fond memories. my best, the very best of my life…’

i eat a turkey sandwich on multigrain with swiss cheese, pickles, tomato, gherkin, straight mustard

chased with coffee

walk back out, down along South Orange

and

revisit the dreams i dreamt this hot afternoon, dreams of an African savanna

the sun smudging the low skies that sink down through the continent
