So I was at the nursing home when the hot hospital administrator and a young pernicious suitor stood at the elevator that I had to get on to go down a floor. I should have known better, "take the stairs!" but, I got on the elevator where the two engaged in the pathetic repartee and banter, that is the romantic tryst of the young and semi-powerful.
He showed his ego and she quickly tried to close the door like a desperate woman trying to blockade her sanctuary from zombie attack.
"That's a nice pin, why did you choose to wear that?" She pleaded with me.
"You're being used to deflect. Did you know that? How does that feel?" said the young cad.
Ignoring them both, "I just liked it. Had it lying around and decided to wear it." I said with a quick smile and inner distaste for this intrinsically human moment.
As I left the hospital he sat there in a white SUV at the entrance till he noticed I was trying to get out. In my mind I played scenes of the two engaged in awkward debate in the car. Advances that are unrequited become debate afterall...
