public transportation has been very interesting today.
as i sat on the bus, half sleeping and half listening to one of my favorite mixes, something compelled me to open my eyes. i stared expectantly out the window and my eyes soon rested upon a young urban professional in a sensible 4-door sedan singing along loudly and passionately to dave matthews. his windows were rolled up.
a young couple with mini dreadlocks were arguing in a stylish, silvery car. both were smoking. the guy leaned back casually in his seat, blowing two thick streams of smoke out of his nostrils and watching it circle round his head. the girl drove and took jittery puffs from her cigarette, pausing every few seconds to shake imaginary bits of ash out the window.
the last person i noticed was an overweight woman with stringy blonde hair in an astrovan. she wore a blue rayon dress with a tiny floral pattern. her face was red and puffy and she was bawling uncontrollably into her fist.
i turned away from the window and shut my eyes.
