On the train today I noticed this elderly asian lady sitting in the row in front of me. Her hair was up in pigtails and she wore headphones shaped like a Poke-ball. She took them off when the guard spoke to her and I could hear the “Phantom of the Opera” soundtrack very clearly.
I feel lucky when my reality intersects with such people. And she’s probably intersecting another reality via the opera as well and thinking how lucky she is to experience it. Whoa. It’s too early to be so meta! I should just enjoy whichever reality this is.
