If you don’t play for high stakes it’s never more than jewellery and empty scented envelopes, she says.
Every story needs a bad guy, I just wanted it most.
Oh escapes some rounded sweet pink lips,
I’ve never been on a literal red carpet before.
You don’t spend five years inside for having a big mouth
without turning learning taking a trick or two hanging up the phone
stubbing out another obvious cigarette prop.
Never mind my dear his arm around her waist
and never fear, when backlit by a spotlight moon,
and Mamu accelerates away

This is very playful, visual, full of tactile images that bring it to life. I like it. Good to see Mamu again too.

A great ride Paul. The spotlight moon is shining on you.

My favorite line. “Every story needs a bad guy, I just wanted it most.” As if we are the sole orchestrators of our own image and lives. And maybe we are.
