days going & coming
late night
words in the night
as i was leaning from my 9th floor balcony taking this picture i was aware of words being said over & over again in the street below
for a while i thought it was a rap or someone performing
but they were getting louder & i realised that the man who was walking below my balcony – i could hardly make out what he was like in the deep twilight, but seemed to be wearing a long coat (the temperature has just dropped dramatically) – was saying over & over again as he walked up the hill
in a rhythm which emphasised each word individually:
‘assume – nothing’
‘assume – nothing’
‘assume – nothing’
as if he was saying the word ‘assume’ individually & the word ‘nothing’ couldn’t be assumed to be following it
as if he was trying to drive the thought into his skull
i thought
i thought i would go for a grittier more ‘clumsy’ look
