Suntanned skin
Scratched white finger nails
Colour changing balls of sight.
Tropical islands of sand and water
High blue skies and summer heat.
A dancing grasshopper in plains of green
Sitting down across a black screen of pictures and sounds
Feet skimming across a concrete stage with a racket in right hand.
An array of meals from a faraway place
Where canals are narrow and gondolas
Float upon the surface of shimmering water.
Five minutes of asking questions
Two minutes of laughing at the answers
Seven minutes of writing about them in silence.
