Silver-tongued





Space Lady was wearing clothes today and an entire room had been made visible. I took a broom and swept the ceiling then we both sat down. A  small beige plastic telly on a mountain of beta tapes showed a silent rerun of Heartbeat. I cleaned silver while Space Lady kept up a running commentary. The wideness of the pickle forks and the smallness of the cake forks provoked pictures in my head. The Man-in-the-cellar was out stealing wood.

    1. '... a mess in your mouth it will surely make' I always thought that was an ancient dermapteran proverb

  2. Oh, I would have definitely committed an etiquette faux pas and used the wrong fork!
