Facts: * This short-short takes place at Gare du Nord in Paris (although it was written in London) which links it to "Sweet Fanny Adams". * Initially, the first sentence was: "Gare du Nord, Paris". * It was read by 3:AM Magazine's Utahna Faith in New Orleans (February 2004) because I was too drunk to do so myself! (See picture of reading above.) * It is often mistaken for a poem.
