there is always noise, it seems. all the love in the world wouldn't be enough.

today i sat in silence and had coffee next to a stranger, i don't think he spoke english as he kept signalling for me to share cigarettes with him by pointing and nodding.

its funny how at first you feel put out by having to share spaces with people you don't know, the alien feel of being in close proximity with somebody so many worlds apart from you, but once you ease into it without the segregating forcefield of having a mobile phone on you, its pleasant.
