Monday, lunchtime, 26, the Old Steine. Woman One: “I am ready”. Woman Two: “Ready”. Woman One: “I feel that I’m ready”. Woman Two: “Being ready”. Woman One: “It’s important to be ready”. Woman Two: “Ready for now”. Woman One: “I want to get ready before things start”. Woman Two: “That’ll be ready, anyway”. This morning’s reef of grey cloud has peeled back to leave behind a bright blue sky spotted with drifting Rorschach clouds – a beard, some pliers, a plaited headdress, a leaping rabbit from a Chinese silk brocade painting. The light has been rendered telescopic, details shine and colours quiver, the bricks stand out sharply. Comments are closed.
