the ride in...

So, I'm on the train again.
To my left is a young man wearing a ball cap. In his ear is a big cubic zirconia earring, held in place by a pencil eraser. I do that :) I wonder if this trick is something everybody knows or just new yorkers...

To my right is a boy wear glasses w clear turquoise frames. He's got a PS3. I can't see what he's playing because the device is less than 4 inches from his face! That explains the glasses.

Across from me is an older woman who looks nervous. She has long blonde hair & the roots have come in. She wears bright red lipstick. I've seen her before -always nervous, fumbling with a lot of stuff, papers & what not - what's her deal? I imagine she a lawyer. Either that or one of those types who carry around documents full of jibberish. She gets off at Canal St I think.

I wish I could paint from memory. I couldn't take the photos I saw in my minds eye while I witnessed to above. When people see a camera, they freeze up, over think & the moment is lost.
