Like a crow on a wire, like a filter set to noir …
Black-and-white photo: a crow on a telephone wire. A second crow perches on a streetlight pole nearby. In the sky behind them, a wintry afternoon half-moon has already risen.

“I know exactly what you’re up to, and I do not share your amusement.”
Black dog waiting outside a supermarket 
next to a tethering-station/minimalist sculpture of a black dog with an identical profile. The dog’s slumped shoulders project a distinctly morose vibe. 

Same glum dog and sculpture (from another angle). Dog is pointedly ignoring me.

A scowling, slime-coated Trump waist-deep in the algae-infested (no longer) Reflecting Pool. His long, red tie floats before him like a sea-snake. Behind him, the Washington Monument rears up like the overcompensating erection  it always was. Caption: ‘SWAMP THING’ in green caps, with the ‘SWA’ crossed out in red and ‘TRU’ scrawled in its place.

Wikipedia entry extract: ‘Despite the Doctor's claim not to entrust his screwdriver to anyone, he lends one to his own doppelgänger in "The Rebel Flesh," and again supplies Rory Williams for its third job in his care in "The Girl Who Waited," after having given or loaning Rory one in "A Good Man Goes to War" [HIGHLIGHTED] and slipping him one in "The Big Bang".’Rory from Dr Who, looking ambivalent.

In winter I commute in half-darkness, my train’s lights freeze-framing suburban moments. Each day I puzzle over a graf tag, SWAMP FOX SWAMP FOX SWAMP FOX on iron fences and concrete silos. Who art thou, Swamp Fox? I think, and wherefore thy hypergraphia? Then I return to worrying I’m late for work.

Granny left me her ornaments: silver filigree roses, ceramic 18th-century lovers, a hideous bronze centurion belonging to my late grandfather. He died before I was born, but his Roman Empire obsession lingered on Granny’s bookshelves and in her knickknack cabinets. She must have really loved him.

In winter the only place to be is on my couch under a quilt with the cat. My clothes are all coated in fur but who cares? Not my ex-boyfriend or my ex-coworkers. Friends? What friends? I’ve got a pile of DVDs (can’t afford Netflix) with desert settings (cheaper than heating). Happy Christmas to me.

My big break at town’s hottest jazz club. Its only jazz club. A wine bar with jazz on Thursdays. But still. “For her first time here at the Tin Cat, Molly Robins!” I walk to the mic, trip in my brand-new bluegreen high heels and go sprawling across the stage. It’s okay. Wait till they hear me sing.

Fabulous! My Grandma went in more for Royal Family commemorative memorabilia (I still have her Charles & Di Wedding spoon!). I inherited her amber and cameo pendants and her 1920s opera cloak, which all pre-date her grandmother years.

He stands before the Embassy and calmly explains why he’s about to do this, but his voice dies on the wind. Anyway the guards don’t know his language. The old man is no threat with his loosely-robed stick limbs and baby-bird bald head. Then the flash, the bang, the black smoke blotting out the sky.

A toad may look upon a princess. He may lick crumbs of cake from her golden plate (mutter and glare all she might), and sleep within her bedchamber, yea and even squat upon her gold silk coverlet, if the King says so. We made a pact, your Majesty, you and I. Now here I am for the love you promised.
