Remnants of an Evening

The fascinating thing about this set of finds is that one could speculate that a narrative binds them together. A smashed cassette case of bootleg music, a broken bottle of vodka, the remnants of a Kentucky Fried Chicken meal and a fingernail. A false fingernail admittedly, but still one broken from the hand of its owner and discarded in the street. It cannot help but construct a scenario of youth, binge drinking, and sexual conquest ending in a drunken groping kiss at the bus stop.

It is serendipity, pure chance, but  behind the bus stop are the key stones of a low wall which still have the lead footings of its old railings. At one point two key stones meet, the footings suggest eyes and two stony faces appear to mimic that bus stop kiss.
