Discarded Intimacy

I have finally managed to persuade one of my good friends to explore Brixton with me. He used to live in the area, so it was even better! We went out at around 10-ish and when we got there we walked around a bit. We came to a small park where all the homeless people hang out (so my friend says) and we found a woolen coat there! It was a ladies trench styled tweed coat. It was quite nice. I was going to take a picture of it and take it, but my friend adviced me against it: “It probably belongs to one of the homeless guys here, and they are not going to be too happy about you taking in.” I thought about it, looked around, and I decided to leave it first, maybe someone left it by mistake. It would be horrible to lose your coat. So we went on with our walk. He took me to a road where he used to live. It was a road full of blocks of flats. On one of the lawns I saw the most peculiar thing: three shoes (three single shoes, not pairs!) lying on the grass, close to one another. One was a women shoe and the other two looked like baby shoes. It was just left there on the lawn of Flat 35-107 Crownstone Road, forming a weird looking triangle. Too bad I didn’t have my spary paint. I could have sprayed the grass. It would have looked nice. So I just took pictures of each of the shoes. The gold shoe looked like a dog bit it. It was a size six Donna Trend (the brand name). The brand of the others are Confetti & Iggi (size 23) and Kickers (it has a big number 2 written on it but I doubt it’s the size). Near the lawn I found a red children’s bike lying on its side. It looked nice. I took a picture of it as well. Back home in Indonesia, it would be gone in 1 minute!
