Crazy lady on the bus
..and it’s not me for once.
She sits down next to me. With her headphones on.
I’m sat there, ignoring her.
Crazy lady: “Have you ever seen a cheatah?”
Teaandcakes: “no, have you?” (Damn, shouldn’t have asked back, stupid work habits)
CL: “yes”
A few seconds pass. I look out of the window.
CL: “Fastest animal in the world, they say”
T: “Hmm, so I’ve heard. What do you think?” (Dammit! Shut up shut up shut up)
CL: “Oh, I wouldn’t know, I’m not one”
A few more seconds pass. I look down at my bag.
Perhaps I should have got my book out, but it was only
a short journey.
CL: “I wouldn’t like to be a cheatah.”
T: “No, neither would I” (I’m learning at this point, I stopped myself from asking why not)
CL: “I like being a human”
T: “Me too.”
Crazy lady gets off bus.
Teaandcakes wonders about the world.
