Distorted images.

Outside the window there is another window, a glass wall, a glazed balcony. The glass is old, maybe ninety years, and uneven, unlike modern glass.

In this window there is a reflection of the roof of the neighbours hous, all distorted.

There is a reflection of a blackbird sitting on this roof, distorted by the glass, hopping up and down, then standing still.

The reflection is a poor image, but it is known that the bird is there now.

Through the open window

the birdsong can be heard.

Undistorted, unlike the reflection in the glass.

Go to the bathroom, off the coridor on the other side of this glazed balcony.

brush the teeth

Go to the sitting room.

It is a doctors day again today

A day to take a picture of internal organs

To check that there is nothing wrong.

To find the source of the everlasting tiredness.

The men with the orange truck pass by outside, collecting the yellow bags.

When they have passed open the window, let the cat jump out and look.
