Toys in Traffic

stuck in traffic with nothing else to do and think and daydream about, i looked towards the person to my left just to check out how my potential pickpocket looked like. he was old, maybe around 50 with glasses and had a worn-out duffel bag. like me, he was looking over the guy to his left who turned out to be playing bejeweled with his blurry-screened ipod touch. i immediately thought that ipod-guy must be crazy carelessly brandishing his toy like that, in a jeep, at night. ipod-guy was a yuppie for sure - nike free 7.0 shoes, polo shirt, a black sling bag and his toy. his game was a little sluggish, missing potential points and with a score still at 1000 even though traffic has been at a standstill for almost 5 minutes. just then, i felt a slight movement from old guy as he fished out his fare from his right pocket. he was no longer paying attention to the game and was instead talking to the driver re: details of his ride like where he will get off and where he came from. i suddenly got busy and with the other passengers, kept sticking my head out to try to check what the hell was keeping us from moving. the next thing i know old guy had his 3310 out playing Bantumi. he had the initials CM tattooed on his wrinkly hand in that space between his thumb and forefinger. so then i thought, old guy = badass.
