January 1 1996

Shops displaying nothing. Girls fallen into idiocy.

Countless high streets with villages around them. Weather like Easter. Cognac bottles hidden under bosoms, transistors bristling with bayonets. Stupidity, ignorance and lack.

(that the cataclysm is above) memorials and restaurants.

The potato sky, a man falling.

Immemorial figures in a giddy, mad delirium.
