perplexed and amused wednesday

and avoiding capital letters for no good reason....

the tube train pulled into chancery lane this morning at my usual unearthly hour of just after 07:00. i stood by the door ready, as usual, to make escape velocity. i noticed a yoof standing in almost the optimal position for efficient ingress/egress of walking freight....almost as he was positioned exactly equidistant from either side of the doors: right in the middle in other words.

only when human traffic spewed forth (as it does every time a train stops anywhere) from the recently opened doors did the surprised look illuminate his visage accompanied by a hasty lateral shuffle. (hmmm writing style too floury this morning) now was this man-child genuinely surprised or is the nations juvenile population rising early from their sleep just to engage in some bazaar form of new brinkmanship in order to 'feel more alive'...something to stir the grey matter before a day of dynamism and cut and thrust pushing their personal envelopes and crossing new boundaries?

nah, the chap was a fuckwit.
