Cityscape: Copenhagen

1.
cobbled streets leading to a harbour of ancient ships. The sound of
English voices raised and echoing beneath a bridge crossing the canal.

2.
Kirkegaard's shoes. The heels heavily worn away. The sound of
footfalls thrown against the walls of terrace sailorís cottages to
become the explosions of fireworks towering above the harbour.

3.
Christiania. Quiet riverbanks. Wooden houses peak from between trees on the
opposite bank.

4.
In a warehouse a man builds a submarine and sails it in front of the
Royal theatre. Someone says that the same man plans to build a
rocket.

5.
In Andy's bar, the smell of cigarette smoke still lingers from a time
when sailors and 2nd world war soldiers would stumble up the stairs.
On the wall is a painting of a woman standing in the centre of
Copenhagen with her knickers down. A saxophone begins to play in the
other room.
