|   It could be nothing else? Someone has saidthe title gives the game away. Oh, yes?
 What else is summer-dark? A thistle-head;
 the eyes of blackbirds; berries; the caress
 of strangers; stripes on angry wasps; the sweat
 of tarmac; rotten fruit; the road that takes
 you somewhere new; oil on a beach; the threat
 of thunderstorms; the gash a shadow makes;
 a cracked stream bed; the first dead thing you find;
 a half-heard secret; melanoma; flies.
 The camera sucks it in and tries to bind
 these images. All different. All lies.
 It's X-ray film. Yes, they're all different, but
 it could be nothing else. The scene's done. Cut.
