Visions, so very Bad.
I was on the way back home on a god-damn crowded bus yesterday evening. Nothing much about that, except that only the front 3/4 section of the bus is crowded, and the idiotic couple standing next to me refuses to move towards the back of the bus to enable more homeward bound working class people onto the bus. They aren't whispering sweet nothings to each each other nor were they too busy looking into each other's eyes to notice what is happening around them and yet move they didn't. Stoic as a pair of statues with lotsa baggage around, they stood immovable. fuck the pair of idiots with a major undeniable selfish streak.
Again on the same crowded and extremely insufferable bus journey home, I saw something that made me regret not bringing a camera close at hand where-ever i go. The bus was stopping at a traffic crossing with high human traffic to and fro this side of the road. There was yet another traffic crossing for the other side of thr road. Looking to pass time, I followed the herd of office warriors crossing thru the windows, my eyes followed them all the way to the road divider where they had to wait patiently ableit a few seconds for the lights to turn green to enable the crossing. Again my eyes trained on this bunch crossing the other side of the road.
Then I saw it, right there, after the last of the disgrunted corporate grunt trudged off the divider, sitting nonchalantly by the green fence lining the divider, was an old lady maybe abt 70 in her full pyjamas glory with 2 big bags besides her. Not too sure what she's doing there but it made for a powerful image. Well, the faster we move forward as a society, the more people get left behind.
My heart goes out to that lady on the divider and hopes she finds a way to catch up with the corporate crowd in crossing to the other side of the road......
