Sienkiewicza Street
A man is walking along the street. It’s
the main street in the town he does not know at
all, where he has stopped accidentally and has
to spend a few hours. He is not in a hurry, so
he’s walking slowly looking around, listening,
letting thoughts to flow across his head. He stops
from time to time and then goes on walking flapping
and clacking ..... walking along the street-sentence
..... He’s reading it. He’s writing
it. He himself is a letter .....
