last night, for one whole stop, anna and i had an entire subway car to ourselves. i danced up and down the car, because i can't usually do that.

do you ever sit in an empty room, and think about all the people who have ever passed through it, and imagine that they left something of themselves behind, as though, even if they don't know it, you are interacting with them by being in the same space. when i think about that, it makes me smile to think about rush hour and all those people crammed together and ignoring each other, and carolyn, unseen to them, skipping up and down....
