matinee
coming back from a coffee run, my coworker & i started across the glass-walled skybridge to find another coworker staring down at something on the street.
we followed his gaze to find a pretty normal looking, young guy standing in a small alcove out of the rain. he was gesturing frantically and appeared to be speaking to someone. at first i thought he had a bluetooth ear piece on and that he was on the phone, but it became apparent that it was not the case when he turned his head.
he kept flailing his arms and did a sort of little dance. by now a small crowd had gathered, each of us wondering if he would ever look up and see at least 6 people watching him.
we decided that he must be rehearsing his part in a play. he was so deliberate and passionate in his presentation. satisfied with himself, he pulled out a cigarette and took a relaxed stance…lapsing in to his thoughts. the crowd dispersed; the show was over.
