You step out through the window and on to the iron roof that forms an unwalkable courtyard between the rooms. Guests move from one room or another with slow metallic crumps, denting the corrugations. Stealing and spying and fucking. You sell Tracy's book to the second-hand bookshop, but only after you've read it. You're in there, part of it.
People drop in to smoke dope and drink.
Tracy comes with a friend and they leave to see Apocalypse Now and Blue Velvet . So you're out late at night walking, waiting for the morning. This might be another occasion. You run into a young guy with multiple piercings and green hair. His nostrils are bulging.
