And sometimes, just words that reek. Shadows walking the city streets, Night court a flickering fluorescent stage. A misfit parade of drunk delinquents and daysleepers. Feral cats stalking the brazen, eerily tame rats, digging in bags of trash. My eyes adjust in the city at night. A tangle of metal and concrete, cars and slick barren trees. I walk inside and draw the blinds.
