There were black and white 1950’s detective
movies playing every night on late night television. Televisions with valves. Black and white 1950’s
detective movies playing every night At the Ritzy cinema in Brixton. Heavy
rain, the street corner light is illuminating a shadowy figure, coat collar
turned up.

A change of
reel and there are footsteps leading into that strange world of pre-sleep,
pre-nightmare, of falling away, slipping away into Burroughs, Robbe Grillet,
the Velvet Underground. There was something happening. Something happened. It
was obsession. It must have been love. Dark exaggeration?
Burroughs quoted, “Everything is possible because nothing is true”.
