be an hour late






- Erik Satie


Date: Tuesday, February 1, 2005, 7:03 pm
Line: "Daly City" BART train (car 1873x)
Location: between Bay Fair and San Leandro stations

The trains are delayed terribly this evening. After many fits and starts , the train finally creeps into Embaracdero station. As I offboard, a lady wearing a powder blue ski jacket and thick rimmed glasses boards the train. From my vantage point on the station platform, I peer though the windows of car 1873x and observe the lady heading toward the open seat upon which the indication rests. She picks the indication up and considers it. The train doors close accompanied by the usual warning bell "Ding-Ding," and the train departs the station. I see the lady take her seat and open a book as the train rushes off.
