2011, Bus Station

At the bus station, a man was putting up advertisements.

He seemed to choose a late hour on purpose, close to the time of the last buses, perhaps so that he would not disturb too many people. Still, the buses had not completely stopped running yet, and there were a few people waiting.

Most people avoided him. They stepped aside, looked away, or moved as if his work belonged to a different part of the night. I did not think I did the same. At least, I tried not to.

But perhaps it made no real difference.

He was simply doing his work, quietly and carefully, in a place where most people were only thinking about getting home. Maybe that is why the scene stayed with me. It was an ordinary moment, but it carried something lonely. A person working late, a few people waiting for buses, and the small distance people create without even noticing.
