It&#8217;s university bookshop. It has an indie vibe. I spend a lot of time at the register reading a book and watching a movie. The clerk checks to make sure I&#8217;m doing something. When he realizes I am, its OK with him.<\/p>\n<p>They also have a blue coat just like the one I used to have. This kind fit so nice; I like them; I plan to get one. There is another more expensive coat that doesn&#8217;t fit. Good thing I don&#8217;t have to feel obligated to wear that these days or have a job that would think better of those coats. I can give it to goodwill now.<\/p>\n<p>I buy my books; one of them is a big book. I walk out of the train station. I&#8217;m on a train trip of sorts. It&#8217;s evening. I walk over bridges. The station is right next a large body of water or a big river. Up ahead the current of one of the tributaries is rapid. I&#8217;m really happy about it and looking forward to crossing the bridge that passes over it. I&#8217;m fascinated by the play of the water.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if have my books. I check my backpack, which is light. The book is there. Oh, I forgot the coat. I&#8217;ll have to go back. I go back to the train station&#8217;s shop (which is different from the university book shop). I meet an Asian woman, a classmate. She has been diagnosed with cancer. We talk.<\/p>\n<p>The upside about the cancer is that she gets to meet interesting people like me. I have to go to the bathroom. I pee in the corner under the shower. It seems like the drain pipe was meant for such use. Oh, there is a urinal. The woman has gone into the woman&#8217;s bathroom. She taking a shower. She says &#8220;touch me&#8221;. Could she be saying that to me?<\/p>\n<p>The clerk steps out from a back room. He turns on the shower to wash his feet and leaves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m in a bookshop. It&#8217;s university bookshop. It has an indie vibe.
