In the cafe, waiting for breakfast, trying to mind my own business at the window counter. Two seats away a guy is setting up a laptop workstation thing with his 7(?) year old kid eating breakfast on the other side of him when I hear
Guy: *struggling to get something connected*
Guy: *muttering* fuck yoooou and the horse you rode in on.
Kid: …
Guy: …
Kid: that. Was. Beautiful.
And I did not look up and I did keep my laughing silent. The kid was was also giggling.
Guy: …yeah. Daddy’s funny when he’s grumpy.

Overheard near Yorkville as my partner and I were exploring the neighborhood. We were passing a public bike rental station thing when the two couples behind us had this conversation. It seemed like a double date; the two in front seemed to be close friends and each with a +1 date trailing behind.
One couple was clearly getting along well while the other couple floundered and bickered about the bicycles. I was struck both by the lack of emotional intelligence displayed by the struggling date, (Like why are you picking a silly fight over the merits of cycling through a busy city without a helmet as a romantic adventure? You are going home alone, buddy.) and the nimble way the friend defused the situation with a private reference that seemed like a reminder of understanding companionship.

i keep having dreams in languages i don't speak
strange enunciations slip my tongue
thoughts of things i did not think
and plans too big to have begun
