Summer insomnia, 4:41 a.m. Across the street a man in a white tux (very Bogie) is dancing a slow dance on the sidewalk with a woman in a little black dress. The only music is the sound of the taxis going by, and an all-night bus full of faces.

I'm beginning to get this creeping sensation that you don't live in a real place...

I wish I had something interesting like that to look at when my insomnia kicks in.

What a great image. I think you're a film-maker or photographer by nature.

This sounds like a dream. Are you sure you weren't asleep and dreaming the insomnia?

It wasn't a dream. There they were, flesh and blood and dressed to the nines, dancing just before sunrise when all things magical must disappear.

Well worth being awake for.

HEre if I'm up before dawn I'm more likely to encounter police cars than dancing couples. And they don't tend to disappear with sunrise.

Helen said...

Good god, do we have to put a quarter in the jukebox to keep it posted?

Deloney said...

I forgot how long it was and it's in two parts. It's all up there now.

Wow. I couldn't see that happening anywhere, but some deranged metropolis, or two people with extremely free spirit. :)
