Metroland (22 page)
Authors: Julian Barnes
I stare out of the kitchen window for a few minutes, directly at the street lamp which shines through its gauze of fir. Two o’clock occurs. The lamp snaps off, and I am left with a lozenge-shaped blue-green after-image. I continue to stare; it diminishes, and then, in its turn, and in its quieter way, snaps off.
