Snapshots from a walk to work

  1. A woman spilling her purse on the platform as the train pulled in, visibly trying to decide which was more important: cash or commute?
  2. A couple blissfully engrossed in each other beside the train door, surgically attached at the lips
  3. Five new blue blazers on a corner, sneaking a cigarette before the first day of school
  4. A cyclist, feet bound to the pedals in special shoes, falling over at the traffic lights after wibbling and wobbling on the spot, waiting for the lights to change
  5. A geriatric man ordering a triple espresso in the deli, hands shaking so hard he couldn’t count out the right change
  6. A man in day-glo orange in the middle of the road with what looked suspiciously like a hoover
