there is a whole night life in this city i've been completely blind to--people coming out at 11pm in fur coats, guitars, and glitzy hats (not necessarily in combination); raccoons running across the street, dodging cars; people walking their dogs; walking their children (???); running... god knows where; people standing in the middle of empty streets, texting; people clubbing; people closing up shop; homeless people, everywhere (some selling pants, i think); people who i'm quite sure are drug dealers; smokers; lovers; friends; people in sad, sad homes with the most depressing curtains

... and some people, coming home from a fundraiser with a bag of baked goods and a jar of jam; some people who can't understand why on earth everyone is streaming out of their homes into the noise
