The Gap of Time (2015)
“Through the wide streets and hard lights and big cars. Lives that never stop.
Lives that never start. Workers walking, drunks falling, cabs slowing and speeding away. A dog at the trash, a woman at the window, a black man asleep on a folded billboard in the doorway of a discount store.
EVERYTHING MUST GO The hotel with its hookers hanging round the lobby. The nightman giving them coffee. The 24/7 laundromat steamy and bright-lit. A child awake too late, his mother holding his hand. He falls eve...ry third step and she rights him, a nylon luggage bag over her shoulder. Broken zipper. She’s talking to him all the time but she’s looking straight ahead.
A boy telling his girl how it is. She’s on her phone.
A nun waiting for the night-bus. Bus comes. Nun gone.MoreLess
