Go out and look at people. Have you noticed their faces? Their September faces? They are glowing, confident, snappy!

That extravagant summer tan is slowly fading, leaving all those cappuccino-coloured spots behind – on foreheads, shoulders, necks.

The eyes are back in action. There is no more summer lust running down the cheeks like half-melted strawberry ice cream, NO. Watch closely! Look into people’s eyes! Behind those September sunglasses, there are perky eyes, not dilated pupils.

Mouths are talking into phones so the lips look thinner, as they move faster. Smiles are cleverer, collars are stiff, the neckline is high, the hair gets darker, and the brain gets excited.

Look at all these supernatural, smooth faces walking up or down the streets, look at all these people heading somewhere and necessarily believing that they are going to make a big difference. Look at them! Look at us! We already feel transfigured by our future, we believe in transactions and ideal customers, we believe in transparent markets and low rents, we believe in communication, ecology, in peace, love, and understanding. We believe in all those things that seemed unbelievably funny during summer.

God knows, this city has never been more optimistic. The sun has never been kinder, it has become the ideal client to work with. And look at us in the light of September sun, look at us, all self-delusional, completing the brightest deal of our lives, making our personal contribution to the well being of the Universe.

Everything turned to heavy gold bars under September sunshine; just reach out and grab one, they’ll be all gone by Christmas.  And you’ll be just another sucker.
