Tiles
These are not the colours of the ‘70s,
but of the 1930s perhaps.
More Bakelite than polyester.
Colours that belie the age of this house.
I don’t find the colours pleasant –
a dull yellow and maroon that
seems to want to be mission brown but
can’t quite get there.
I don’t find the colours pleasant,
but I like these tiles in the entrance-way
– they fit.
