There is No Dead Time
The Forgotten Art of Watching Bored People
Picture a waiting room.
A time for contemplation, and to meet those you would never normally meet.
Imagine the little fights over what gets played on the tv. Fingering magazines.
Stealing glances at the cuties.
Wait long enough, and everyone would join in the conversation.
Now, smartphones take that away.
So when you just sit there, when you pay attention to everyone else, it's palpable.
It'll draw the old to you likes moths...outside.
Though some assert that ceremonial waiting died with the aristocracy, we can see it’s alive.
