true genius
I went to subway because, fuck cooking.
I bought my sandwich and went to sit outside and wait for my friend.
While I sat and waited I eavesdropped on a conversation with several of the people around me.
It was quite an interesting perspective shared by all three grizzled old men on the way sex influences politics.
For nearly twenty minutes I sat, quite enthralled, not daring to speak knowing I couldn't possibly have anything half as interesting to add.
When my friend finally came out with his sandwich and we left he gave me a sour look and asked "Why were you hanging out with the homeless people?"
Well fuck me.
Sometimes I just don't pay attention.
It shows... everyone has something meaningful (or at least interesting)to share.
ReplyDeleteKind of like a blind taste test. You think you know what you are dealing with because of the way it looks, but when you close your eyes, you are surprised. Maybe the richies in government should be homeless (since they caused it anyway) for a while to help them have a decent, intriguing conversation again as well lol.

@ Mags: i should have guessed from the duct tape shoes but yes, they offered plenty. Including a bevy of interesting smells.
ReplyDelete@ Zombie: i wud love to agree but i think at this point any valuable change in the way things are run politically is going to require a lot more than walking in another persons shoes, sadly.
Tell your friend they were engaging!
ReplyDelete"Oo-oo that smell..." Ha!
