It’s a clear
October Tuesday in Melbourne. Silken rainbows ascend windows of an upstairs
Carlton apartment. Rainbow postcards decorate Fitzroy cafés. Rainbow ribbons
flow outside English and Italianate city churches. Rainbow stickers glint in
car windows. Tram commuters wear enamel rainbow brooches. Others sport
tee-shirt rainbows. It’s a cloudless day for bookshop rainbows. Rainbow clubs.
Rainbow hotels. Rainbow florists. Graffiti removal units make a living from
rainbows. Sale of primary and secondary colour spraycans is up. Children’s
rainbow yeses bluetacked to Albert Park front windows. Rainbow posters peel
from walls. Rainbow mobiles. Rainbow screens. Rainbow emojis left, right and
centre.
