things you only need to remember briefly
(fragment)
an ironmonger’s phone number
a healed wound
room 31
a taxi driver’s face
how many minutes you arrived late
shoes you no longer wear
passers-by on a zebra crossing
the voice of a woman who dialled the wrong number
clouds
the weight of a bag
address of a discontinued dry cleaner’s
sound of falling pans
rain puddles
the man in front of you at the bakery
shapes in a kaleidoscope
an umbrella in a waiting room
noise that traffic makes
clipped nails
a hairdresser’s movements
the number of a reserved seat
handshake at a reception
a room seen through a window
soap bubbles
a woman asking you for directions in your own neighbourhood
