illegible

Before they go back in the dress up box God’s disguises tumble in the drier.

You can look through the porthole, but don't touch. There’s…

  • a tropical sunset coat continually changing from splendour to splendour
  • a cloak and crown set with baubles, medals, scout badges, orb, sceptre, dentures, yoyo
  • a black silk dress ruched with full crinoline bottom layer and bodice ripped from top to bottom as if by lightning
  • an inflatable dinosaur suit with power buttons
  • a G-string with optional sarong
  • a rag, stiff with dirt, stinking of sweat, piss, I could go on

but the one I like the most is the T-shirt of worldly wisdom
it’s black
with black words printed on it, like

SHIT HAPPENS

and

LOVE PASSED THIS WAY
 
BUT I WAS OUT

The harder you look at it the less you see.
