Remember the real?
You find a crumpled note, ink blotched with dirty rain, script faded in the silent sun
Shopping list
Incomplete
Amongst the weeds, left untended, taking back the car parks
Loose change in the cracks
Three fivers that you can’t spend
All the while I look for you
In the park, through the new leafed trees
From the top of the bridge
Over the empty motorway
Dry like a river
A reservoir in summer (hasn’t rained for days)
Snake shed skin
I know I am changing
Hope you recognise me
Shocked, I leap two metres back
Just my own reflection
Unshuttered windows
Moments of truth
Changed my route
Set off five minutes later every day
In the hope
That I might
Run into
You

The world shrinks to the limit of an eye-blink. In the darkness we can know only the land that forms beneath our feet. But we can feel. We can lie in the sun a while. Feel the heat upon our backs. Through the thrum of strings and bend of notes, yearning vocals and overheard voices, we will know that there are still textures, there are still contours, there is a shared experience that we can still call life. It’s waiting for us. Nation of Two sends out an exploratory craft across the terra nova we know is out there.
