Words fail me.
The young man seemed perfectly respectable. He was attired in the casual style so much favoured by the young here; but tidy and clean & softly spoken. Whatever could motivate him to dig such a large hole out of his ear, pierce the bridge of his nose and push a SPIKE through his lower lip? His female companion likewise seemed ordinary enough, but one must respect her bravery, if not her judgment, in hoping for an amorous relationship. A courageous woman indeed, to dare to kiss that mouth!
The second young woman astonished me and I daresay I could not take my eyes off her, tho' I must confess it very ill-mannered. She did glower at me for daring to look! But, upon my honour! t'was was impossible to look away! Her clothing was most extraordinary ... a dirty, frayed flouncy skirt over grubby leggings and bright red "basketball" boots.
But more peculiar than that ... what manner of creature leaves her hair unwash'd till it forms gigantic spiralling rat's-tails & puts rings thru her nose & pierces her lip to leave a nail's-head behind? &, having chosen to bedeck herself in this most unwholesome and unusual garb, why should she become angered when persons are amazed enough to stare? One would think that, by this, her objective would be fulfilled.
It grows ever more lonely and strange here,
love from your own,
