In line to buy a ticket
I am useless
, I concentrate on standing the way other people stand. There is not much of a variety to pick from. Reassuring, but also means I must get it right.
Skyler
is a good one to have along, he handles the
public
for me,
words, transactions
. I would like to lean against Skyler or a wall or
anything
but
who knows
what would happen when the line moves forward, besides which there is a cop watching everyone and I am trying not to think about that. This is the theater
Lowell
and I went to on our
first date
and I will do my best not to think about that either, I will be good to my brain tonight.
With
the right distraction
there is no need to fight other thoughts. The
ticketseller
is blonde, a junior in high school, red vest fits him badly, there is no need for him to smile. His booth is a
cell
and without much effort
my perception
whittles itself down to the walls on all his four sides. A narrow space to spend your
workday
, one might think it was bleeding him, but really the world is quiet and he is a bird flapping over and through water against the white water sky, white bird flapping ripple flapping in the water sky.

the possible benefits of waiting in line
Why studying and thinking things over is worth the effort
How do you articulate the in between stages where you feel you're left hanging?
