Urban landscape

It's five o'clock in the morning and the fine drizzle is white as milk, cold as ice. […]

The machine appears around the corner and comes slow, low, strong, big, huge. A white man, a mulatto woman, the fat and the thin one, two crazy boys get down to the machine. Arrival of some, departure of others. Amid a harsh smell of smoke and diesel oil, the Other Man enters the train.

A man continues a post. Hard. Concrete. And it's only when a girl comes down the steps of the carriage carrying a suitcase, her hair tied back with ribbon and a searching look, that the pole man gives a start. The eyes meet. The train goes and the eyes come. The world is like that… Another Man is gone. A Man is happy.
