Discarded Intimacy

This day was my second attempt at taking at least 2 hours to go for a walk somewhere in London to look for discarded clothes. I decided to go to Lewisham and tried to look for clothes there. I went walking around Lewisham shopping center and all around the residential areas near the shopping center, but after 2 hours of walking, no luck. Just a pair of very tired legs. Hmm.. I went home a bit frustrated. Why is it that when you are looking for something, you just never do find it?
After spending the last two weeks being cooped up in the library and at home, working, I decided to go for a night out with my housemates. There was a party at a pub on Kingsland Road that sounbded interesting so we decided to go. The first stop was 1001 on Brick Lane for a couple of beers and people watching. On our way to 1001 we found 3 gloves! You know gloves people use to work with. Next to a garbage bin. One was lying on its own while a pair were lying close to it. So I did my thing and took pictures. Used the bag we had our booze in from the off license shop to put the filthy gloves in. Later on on our way to the other club I saw a whole wardrobe of clothes, literally! First I saw a pair of trousers on the street (specially tailored pants, no size), and then nearby a white buttoned long sleeve shirt (Van Heusen, size 16, Large) and a long sleeved dark gray shirt (Sportway, size 16). I was thinking to myslef, oh what a find!! And the I saw right next to it there was a sack of clothes on the ground! This was the place on Brick Lane where people have a street market to sell the odd bits and bobs. I then thought, oh no! Maybe they were what people were selling in that market! I so wanted to take that sack of clothes, but I decided to leave it in the end. Hmm maybe I’ll come back on Sunday to see if it is still there. Hmmmph.. these clothes really smell!
