Something that might happen in the new year

At the end of the year the people without houses gather in an abandoned building which is furnished for this particular purpose. The furnishing has been exactly the same for as long as any of the participants can remember. Nobody doubts the correctness of the events or actions and nobody asks questions. Silence about the origins is traditional. The building, which is shunned at all cost for the rest of the year, is furnished as follows: Twelve shoppingcarts from different malls chained together in a circle in the centre of the room. The insides of the shoppingcarts are covered with newspapers. Every cart contains old newspapers from a specific month of the past year. In the carts, on the newspapers, intestines of various stolen animals are placed. On the northern side of the circle, cigarettebuds are laid down. These buds were not smoked by the participants. On the western side lies a puddle of oil from leaking vehicles. On the southern side lie used needles. On the eastern side lie empty, used, ripped garbagebags.
The people without houses stand around the installation in a circle. They remove a single tooth from their mouth with their own hands, no tools are used. They throw this tooth at exactly midnight on new year’s eve at the shoppingcarts. Some of them will walk in expensive suits the next year and will not remember their life on the street.
