grand central, the
shuttletrain is pulling in while a korean man
stands against a pillar feet from
me he curves
slowly downward like a
leaf, headfirst
into the side of the train and lies on
the ground with his forehead
in and out of the doorways for a good 3
seconds, before anybody can move to help
him. he twitches now, his whole
body misfiring, his eyes like slot machines. it
takes 600 or more commuters to get a cop to
him and i watch from a small distance behind as he is stood
up and told to sit down, his electric
brain as bewildered as his
neck his hand goes to his hairline and comes back
red, and i take my cue to find a
seat while you on the other side of the
world are bashing sharks with your
surfboard are disappearing in
caves are drinking sand in the
desert are communing with
bats are sleeping with spiders the size of
children in your fragile American
hair. ~Eric Raanan Fischman |
