Driving

Sep. 14th, 2007 12:06 pm
During the past few days, I have been driving around the Kent countryside, searching for corners. There seemed to be surprisingly few and I even looked on a map for corners, but then realised just how few roads there actually are, compared to in Southampton, and most of the time I ended driving down overgrown country lanes.

Yesterday, I swerved onto a grass verge, but am now allowed to drive through Weird Wood and Starfield alone.
Jigsaw Pieces
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".
Look in the mirror at the Great Feather of Woolston glinting in the distance;
Drive fast enough to feel the wind in your hair, strands swirling out the open window;
Turn left at the silver garage doors that are shimmering in the heat with crazy miraged motion;
Stop at the red traffic light and watch the seeds dancing, the fairies fluttering;
Drive over the shadows of trees;
Reverse around the corner where all the petals have fallen;
Pull down the shade, as the sun, the sun is glowing, perhaps a little too brightly.
