"Bring a Harmonica To Play While You Wait" or "Rhythm Is a Dancer"
It felt like 300 people were waiting on the uptown F Train platform this morning. I thought about running outside and hopping into a cab, but after thirty minutes, figured I was in it to win it. The presence of so many people, all packed together, was getting annoying, so I decided to turn it around and make a list of situations in which I'd be happy to see lots of people:
I've had a pretty good morning.

1. An anti-war protestI started imagining the people around me in different situations, chanting slogans or doing the hustle. I put on my headphones and listened to Ardi's 90s techno mix, dancing only with my toes. When the train finally arrived, I squeezed inside, pressed against two really hot indie boys who had been watching my toes the whole time. I looked through the windows and saw Dibs, on the downtown platform, reading a book.
2. An economic rights protest
3. A civil rights protest
4. An environmental protest
5. An audience
6. A dance party
I've had a pretty good morning.
Love
Dan
