Many days alone riding the rails in, tweedish thought I easy drop, on the text messages of those, next to me. Today on the, L train I read from , a lady with a face famed in, petrol black bangs, and ruffed white boots that she waited, patiently Saturday for a hole lot, of nothing . Having pryed I felt, perhaps a part of, her mundane suffering but only for, the length between Montrose &, Morgan ave .

In Tokyo, it is much harder, to easy drop. Due to the many, phones, and the masses of people, they are having the privacy films installed over their screens.

Without the, ability to easy drop I feel many could be, more lonesome in being, alonely.

They think that they, are talking to their friends, while texting. But really, they are just tap, tap, tapping on their phones and, ignoring the world. They will never notice, a perfectly folded pocket fish, or a gentleman knight, in armor of tweed.

Slim - I've said it before: this is what's wrong w/ the world today. The fine and enjoyable art of street flirtation has disappeared.

You like it? The easy dropping?

When you, easy drop, do you ever, strike up, a conversation, based on your easy dropping? If so, what are, the results?

My favorite was the super-average looking businessman writing a "please come back" note to his (wife? mistress?), on his blackberry, in verse. I felt compelled to correct his meter, but refrained...
