​You'll Never Be Quite the Same

People-watching

            People-watching is one of those things I didn’t wholly appreciate pre-COVID. J and I had breakfast in downtown Bangor today, where they’ve made efforts to maximize outdoor seating.
            What is that lone woman working on at her computer? Job application? Remote school-work? A novel? Shoe-shopping? Checking her Twitter-feed? She has a far-off look, gazing periodically into the distance. I like to imagine something significant is going on.
            These two little boys with their grown-up, the happy shark backpack, the holding hands, what a tableau! Are they back-to-school shopping? Even though they might sticking with home-school?
            So many stories to imagine, surrounded by people. What will we do when winter closes us back into home isolation again?
