crossroads, well almost

everytime i return the books,
i go through this underground passage
with the most
pitiful,
somewhat insane,
queer,
and overall amusing inhabitants

i use "inhabitants" because they are there--
constantly

June 09: Underground
characters:
chubby man with eyes half-closed
colorful-faced man with bunny ears, and sings with funny accent
tall lanky old man who makes unreasonable demands
me

The time is around 8:02pm. The shuffling of feet and incessant murmuring of the crowd drones on the background.

ACT 1, Scene One

Chubby man with eyes half-closed: ... [silence]

bunny ears: waoidhtoi alkasjdfoiwe~ [singing]

old man: !#%@%&*$^& [yelling at unfortunate pedestrians]

me: ... [observing the three and walking past all of them]

close curtain.

Funny scene, beautifully recreated! Heh... You remind me of Gardner's Grendel, when he changes the narration to resemble a play.

Why was bunny ears singing in the library?

Oh, this is Ed by the way...
