Specimen

“I like to visit the natural history museum in every city I travel to.

When I get home, the memories of the specimens and the illuminated display cases always follow me.

I imagine a fossil of archaeopteryx on the wall of my hotel room and dream the collection of a victorian lepidopterist on my bedside table.

Sometimes I think I could perhaps become a chimera of coelacanth tails and birds wings and the antlers of Megaloceros.

Then I think that I have probably spent far too long at the museum that day :-)
