• The lamp post was a tall, steel, contemporary one. It rose towards the sky, and once reaching an apex, moved abruptly outwards, in the direction of the road, forming a right angle. Emitting a sodium-orange light, it stood, imperious, its light beyond the reach of human arms. Placed in the street by Hackney Borough Council in 1973, a number of local residents had failed to notice its presence.

• In recent times this lamp post had witnessed a poster being attached to its exterior, a piece of paper advertising a competitive quiz that would shortly take place in some community centre. A week ago a child had attempted to wrap its arms around the lamp post and encircle it completely, but without success. Two days ago a dog had urinated against it.
