    I'm on the bus heading for the southside. we pick up a guy with a bike. he has trouble mounting the bike on the front rack; at one point the rack falls with a loud metallic thud. he gets on the bus and stands near the bus driver. he's around 50, tall and lanky; his clothes are old and faded but clean the pants look ironed; his hair is blonde but greying and so is his beard, both are neatly trimmed. after about a half a mile the bus driver tells the man that he hadn't secured his bike correctly. i could see the top of the bike leaning forward, like it might fall. i thought about how interesting it would be if it did fall. the man says: "i'm sorry. i mean it, i'm sorry. i've never put a bike on the rack before. i'm sorry. but i'll know better next time. next time i'll get it right. never again! never again! i'm sorry."

    the bus driver pulls over at the next stop. the man immediately goes to the back of the bus. the driver gets out and secures the bike. as well drive off, i hear the man's voice saying: "he went to fix the damn bike, put it right!" he was on a cell phone. i didn't hear all of his conversation, but at one point he says, "linkin park only had two good songs that i know of! i mean, do you know any more?"

    we get to his stop and he gets out and takes his bike off the rack then throws it down onto the grass next to the sidewalk hard so that it lands on its side and goes back to the rack. when i take a closer look at the bike, i can see that the seat is gone. the man is feeling around the rack for the seat. he throws up his hands and smiles at the bus driver, it's nowhere to be found. somewhere there is a bicycle seat sitting in the middle of the road.

    i had the bus drop me off at the liquor store, where i bought a bottle of vodka.
