Passing Through

Today I passed some rough looking kids on a bench who were taunting school kids as they shuffled by. "You look like Hugh Grant!" An earnest floppy-haired kid replied: "Is that a compliment?"

Things they talk about here: How to cook a carrot. Places for storing buttons.

It's nearly ten, and the sun has yet to set, the big tease.
