Spitalfields Market
In a clearly hungover morning, the London air horribly limpid, walk down describable streets past news-stands where kneejerk articles write themselves.
(Wanted: graduate recently addicted to amphetamines for mind-expanding opportunity. Must not mind having a crap job.)
Go to Spitalfields Market, an embassy of civilisation in the East End, and anyway, it’s nearer than Camden.
But I didn’t see any Huguenot weavers, just kids making masturbatory gestures at a passer-by, who tells them to go back to India.
Go inside to look at a broken violin; shelves of 1971 Michael Moorcock paperbacks; a bench for my falafel; records from when London was a happening place, man.
TV cameras at Whitechapel; I point out the dog turds.
Spare some change; buy my last Big Issue; got a travelcard to spare; what a friend I have in Jesus; if my husband was still alive he’d deck you; have you been in an accident in the last five years, sir; what the fuck are you looking at, you cunt.
