Night

August 25, 2007

People smoking in a park – lighthouse for consuming illegal substances
Boys talking
A chiild banging on a drum
Loud cars going by
Kids drikning alcohol in the park
A Chinese woman speaking French outside an ice cream parlour.

That kid I saw in the MUNI station.

Disappearing.
Into the Mission.
