What is…

What is Hot? A red pepper being chewed on, in an adult’s mouth, a scorching bath, run by only hot water.

What is Cold? A fresh drink with several ice cubes, being drunk near a cold pool, and a Mr Whippy straight from the ice-cream man’s van.

What is Smooth? Varnished nails on children’s hands, and broken glass roughened down by the sea.

What is Rough? A nail filer sitting in a nail manicures salon, and a section of coral dancing at the bottom of the deep, blue ocean.

What is Soft? My shih tzu buddy’s fur being stroked by my family, and cut sheep skin in an immense pile.

What is Hard? A metal locker in a school locker room, and a plank of wood on a wood worker’s table.
