Firehose



This firehose has been outside Amy and Sylvain's apartment for years, yet it looks brand new, like it was just unwrapped. Every time I leave their apartment I commune with it, count its folds, sometimes touch it. (Does someone dust it?) Amy told me Hannah has a similar response.

Entrances



Yesterday morning I set out for Amir's to get my hair cut. On my way back I walked west down the lane just south of Kingsway and noticed an apartment building on Parry Street. I was drawn to the entrance, so I took its picture.

What attracted me to the entrance were the vaguely deco details near the top of its archway. Later, while looking at its picture, I noticed that the building is made of cinderblocks, and reflected in the window is a light standard the City introduced to the neighbourhood a few years back in recognition of its Victorian heritage.

There is more, of course.
