Half a takeaway covers the pavement.
A slug takes a look.
Couple sat outside a cafe communicating via their mobiles.
Homeless man tidys the bench that is his home as an over powering waft of perfume hits me from a passerby.
Begger in subway says good morning.
What he means is 'do you have any change?'
"Good morning" I reply.
What I mean is... 'no'.
I walk on.
The apple core which lyes in the gutter will never bare fruit.
CCTV cameras track a middle aged man,
big fluffy hair,
'hippy trousers' and round glasses.
...looks suspicious!
Jogger crosses in front of me,
cuts me up,
but apologises - it's all cool!
The city's carparks still have spaces for all the cars passing by me.
The balconies on a new block of flats enjoy the view,
of the cars!
The noise,
the rumble of the air conditioning units,
...it all seems endless!
Briefly the noise abates.
I've 50 minutes left on my parking ticket.
