Quotemark (November)


Narrow your eyes and November is quotemarks around the norm named November. Songs to saints take over from squeals of trick or treat. The cup sweep shuffles names destined for green pastures or the glue factory. The humidity is accented with the fragrance of roses. Our intense teenagers have heads full of exam and will the questions be, like, okay? Unseasonal nativities and blow-up santas reintroduce themselves to shopping plazas. Then “unquote”, fingers apostrophising air with the vague assurance “November” has been summarised, we know what you mean and any further questions are unnecessary and take November far too literally.
