Brief Encounters

Dialogue on the way to work this morning on the bus between me and a guy in a white suit, candycane striped red and white shirt, and a polkadot bowtie, who was sitting behind me:

Him: What time is it?
Me: 9:35
Him: Is it too late?
Me: Too late for what?
Him: Too late to depend on god?
Me: ... [crickets chirping]

And then I slowly turned away and wished I had a book to read or music to listen to. Thankfully he got off soon afterwards.

Sigh.

Borrow from Blake: "O it is all a vain delusion / This Death & this Life & this Jehovah!"

Watch his bow tie spin.
