Under Construction ...

Ten Street Strangers and What They Talked to me About.

1. Fourteen April. World Trade Centre, waiting for the 109. Male. About how these young tram drivers see you trying to get to the stop and ignore you. There is no customer service any more.
2. Three May. Flinder St Railway Station Tram Stop, waiting for the 1. Male. He just handed me a badge. He didn't speak a lot (any) English. I gathered he had found it, noticed my lanyard with its million badges and thought I was the best recipient. Its a black and pink thing that looks like a 'C'. It's on my lanyard.
3. Ten October. Outside Coles, Port Melbourne, waiting for B——. Female. She told me that a taxi driver had killed a pedestrian around the corner. Police had blocked off the road for a little while I waited but it all seemed low-key for a fatal. We discussed the dangers of cycling and walking as she put on her bicycle helmet backwards. I offered some sartorial advise. she took it. Turned out no one died.
