the cycle continues
I lost my sunglasses on the weekend.
Somewhere between home and Newport and back.
I put them down for a minute and they just vanished.
I liked them a lot.
I liked them mostly because they were found objects themselves.
(They came from the lost property box at my previous work where unclaimed items, after an appropriate time, were shared out amongst lucky staff members.)
So they came into my life unexpectedly.
And they left the same way.
I’ve put my own lost property claim into the place where I think I might have left them.
But they’re not to be found.
Perhaps it’s time to let them go.
For they have their own journey to make.
My next journey will be to a sunglasses shop on the weekend.
Maybe our paths will cross on the way!
I wonder where they are? And who they’re with?
The only sunglasses I ever saw in the lost property here were of the large, ugly, granny variety…
February 6th, 2004 at 9:36 amI’m guessing that your now lost pair were spirited out of the lost property before any other staff members realised that you hadn’t infact purchased them from the ‘Sunglass Hut’ or the like. From memory of you wearing them they weren’t the granny glasses.
On the bright side, you get to buy yourself a present and perhaps an element of a new look while you’re at it!
