One
encounter
Me (to an old
man, nearing death and joyless) : Good morning The old man :
I dont think so
(looking at the chalk)
is this really
necessary? Me (to the joyless
and death-near) : Not only is it necessary, it is crucial.

Another encounter
A gardener, or plant mechanic (middle aged yet also
near death and utterly joyless) speaking so that I will hear him,
so that I must hear him, says in the voice of a father who can only
chastise : Someone has
too much time on their hands. Me (to myself, as I am exhausted and do not have the energy
for confrontation) : if chalk dust and scrapes and dirt and spit are
what time is then yes, I have a lot of it on my hands. |
