A perfect moment
You know how when you’re sitting at the bar with a fresh beer and just for a moment all of life’s unnecessary drama has disappeared, maybe you’re watching TV, maybe it’s a baseball game that you don’t really have any stake in but which is halfways interesting, and just sort of enjoying how nothing is happening, and the guy next to you suddenly starts giving you all kinds of sage life-advice that I suppose has some wisdom in it but really you were happy before, and subtly ignoring him won’t make him stop and just when you think he finally is going to wind down and let you enjoy your moment of peace you realize he bought you another beer, maybe even a shot that you don’t need, which is nice but now that you can’t escape him until you finish another beer without being impolite and creating drama and just as you fear he has started up again and there’s no escape…
