Lots of things are hideous
If you look at them long enough
The wrinkles on my thumb
The smooth grey corner of the television.
Lots of things are hideous
If you look at them without thought
The sleeping lady's lips on the bus
The out of date lino - not yet retro.
Lots of things are hideous
If you look at them with disappointment
The bare trees against a rainy sky
The dust on the piano keys.
Lots of things are hideous
Through my eyes -
And I apologise.
