“What the hell is going on? Tell us what’s happened to this place Jesus! Tell us all!”, exclaimed a cigarette smoking man sitting by the street next to his green calico shopping bags of belongings.

Every morning I see a homeless man catch the morning sun in a particular corner on my way to work. On this particularly biting Winter morning he was sitting in the same spot with his chihuahua when somebody walked up to them unnoticed, left an apple and a sizable dog biscuit, then walked away.

Sometimes when I drift into sleep when on the loo and I drift back out of sleep, and I get an urge to pee, I get a momentary panic about actually peeing because I had forgotten that I was on the loo.

The other night an announcement came through in the train carriage, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re sorry for the delay. There has been a report of a suspicious package in one of the carriages. We will be moving again as soon as security has done a sweep through to make sure everything is OK. Please look around you for any suspicious bags, suitcases, anything that isn’t yours and inform the security people if you spot anything. Thank you.”

I was engrossed in my newly acquired copy of Catcher In The Rye when I heard this. I looked up, listened and looked around. A sense of calm blanketed me. I thought if this was going to be my last moment, I would be happy with the life I’ve lived. I briefly wondered what the others were thinking before going back to the pages.

After five minutes or so, the doors closed, and the train continued to take me and the other passengers home.

Other woman, “I know, I know.”

Woman, “I really want to reestablish this connection again. We’ve really got something you know. Really, I mean it.”

Another woman, “Yes, sure, of course.”
