On the way:
The hand stretches up through the crowd, reaching for purchase on the orange pole, an adult hand, tanned but small and hairless. And grasps, firmly, secure against the rock and the roll of a crowded bus journey.
It's a left hand with two rings on its middle finger - one little more than a bevelled circle of gold wire, the second smooth and a little bit more substantial - and a wide gold band on its ring finger.
The fingertips are obscured, curled around the curve of the cold bar, no knowing whether the nails are neatly clipped or roughly chewed, but surely the print pads are pale, pressed to the metal.
The hand proceeds from a wrist with a few black hairs on it, emerging from from the black and grey striped sleeve of an arm stretching beyond the peripheral vision.
See the city. Travel by bus.
