Xeroxing,
lunch, the gym, waiting in line for a movie, varicose veins. So much
for standing on my own two feet. I have nothing to do with time,
everything to do with clocks. So I lay out activities like dominoes to
keep the minutes clattering forward: Xeroxing, lunch, the gym, rubbing
my varicose veins. A moment comes when I notice that no one stalling at
the bus stop or scanning the Style section touches the ground directly;
their shoes hover, as if over a hole. The Earth rumbles. Others come
emerging from the ground. I move to catch the next train.
