★"me just now" - self-portrait in six words★
 

.

• six words only - arranged to make a sentence if you like, but not essential

• try to capture the mood or the spirit of the moment, as well as your appearance

to begin:

interesting shirt, severe haircut, quizzical frown.

mild indigestion, procrastination, still in pyjamas.

dressed monochrome, two pigtails, distracted gaze

sitting slumped, hair askew, mildly distracted.

mussed up hair, shaky leg, concentrated

reclining on settee pondering imminent TEATIME

flip-flops, but not at the beach.

bare feet, sandy from high tide

chewing chewing chewing chewing chewing carrots

bad posture, squinty eyes, headache, distracted

cross-legged, barefoot and dog-adjacent

just back from lunch; abdomen distended

pissed off yet in good spirits

upbeat rock music, scraped leg, content

procrastinating, stressing, trying not to think

macchiato cup, eyelid in mid-flicker

turtle bracelet, itchy earlobe, uncoordinated activity

pearl earrings, napping in a hurricane

wrapped in sheepskin blanket, arms folded

pyjamas again, crosslegged in office chair

so very very sad headache rain

wearing that balaclava you knitted me

Just off work. On first beer.

back in pyjamas, drinking rum punch

favourite blanket, laptop computer, Friday night

digesting, sticky hands, air of mischief

yoga shorts, phasers set on stun

wondering if I'll get a reply

doubting anything will chase it away

saturday morning, jammies at 10am, bed-head.

clear mind, yoga endorphins, bounty bar

wondering why all the pyjama wearers

Biofuel for next generation of Mosquitoes.

heat exhausted with dry, tired eyes.

Waiting for all the tomorrows. Today.

kids asleep. dammit! one woke up.

awake, exausted, sad, wrapped in blankets

internet cafe, breakfast, damp hair, easy-going

wearing pyjamas and feeling slightly hypocritical

my squeaky clean eyes stare eastwards
