There are a woman's footsteps quick, aggressive, and reassured by the familiarity of her own habits. There is a goal and a deadline that is always held in front of her. This is the pace of the city. Yet the footsteps are really weak, to such an extent that they trip up over dug up ground and through blind alleys. They mix up streets and directions. They start at their own echoes and back up at sounds of other things present until they stop.
