Scenes from a train 12 am

Eight observations tonight on a train home at 12 midnight.

1. Boyish guy aged approximately 23. Constantly pressing his screen in quick sucession.

Boyish guy :"Hello Darren baby, am a bit late tonight, got too involved in conversations and went pass my 2 hours that I promised I would be back by...so sorry...forgive me ok?"


2. Straight boy with girlfriend, bodies sliding up against each other, talking within kissing distance.


Boy : " I have so gotten you in my clutches, you will give me your virginity tonight. Thereafter, I will so dump you for the next hottest girl that crosses my path..."


Girl : " I love you so much..."

3. Uncle sitting opposite me, ring on marriage finger, Louie Vuitton manbag beside him.
Uncle : "How can I slip into my bed tonight next to my wife knowing I have just fucked the most gorgeous guy on the planet? "

4. Auntie standing next to my seat, carrying a plastic bag full of empty aluminum drink cans.
Auntie : "Dunno how much I can get from these cans...I've already paid $0.60 for this trip. Was it worth it?"

5 and 6. Married couple with baby in pram in front of me.
Husband : "Its been a bloody long day, hope I don't have to do this next week...wonder how my mahjong khakis are doing....?"

Wife : " Its been such a long time since we've come out like this for a family outing, I wonder if he's free next week?"

7. Tired foreign worker looking guy sitting on the reserved seat.
Tired looking guy : "ZZzzz...."

8. Me : "I miss him so much."

8 observations.
8 different worlds.
