Sights and Smells of Southampton

[squirmelia]

I stepped between the jigsaw pieces that had been scattered on Archers Road, as my eyes jumped from one piece to another, trying to figure out what the picture was of, and at the same time, wondering about my life and all kinds of puzzle-related metaphors.

I smelt the ocean and then strawberry fields as I drove past them.

I tried to look further into the distance as I followed the signs that said "out of city".

Well, if I'm honest, I didn't really think about symbolism or anything, I like the rich colour and texture of the grey flagging though, setting off the casual way the jigsaw pieces are just lying. It's nice too that they are conceivably part of the same jigsaw if not at all similar.

I have visions of you marching away from Soton with all your possessions bundled into a knotted handkerchief of the end of a stick!

Some of the jigsaw pieces were already attached to each other.

I will march away with a wire mesh bin over my head, not knowing how else to carry it, protecting me from tiny flying dolphins that will try to stop my escape.
