nighttime

on a nighttime walk across the river, one may encounter:
- japanese tourists taking photos of each other in front of big ben
- couples sitting on the benches, holding hands, quietly
- strange iron-fish staring menacingly from lampposts
- a man doing a mock-striptease unselfconsciously wearing y-fronts in his expensive riverside flat
- a girl taking photographs, wondering if she will, or she won't (she didn't)
