Sitting around a table‚ for a few minutes. All around‚ a city.Maybe. A brief encounter between strangers. Four women‚ to be exact. But what does it matter? The table could be anywhere‚ anywhere in the world. The geography doesn’t matter. It’s a rap rhythm‚ a slow blues scansion‚ a sequence of distorted chords of a rock song. Even this does not matter. Four parallel lines intersect violently‚ at random‚ for a moment losing their direction‚ their identity‚ their destiny. This‚ instead‚ is important. It’s nice. It puts sharing into place. Unintended. Not scheduled. Unorganized. Not even time to understand what is happening. All around‚ a city. Maybe. Four women. Tall‚ short‚ lean‚ violent‚ busy‚ sweaty‚ sleepy‚ grungy‚ anxious‚ pretentious‚ soft‚ satisfied‚ spoiled‚ sunny‚ ascetic‚ arrogant... that share. Themselves‚ their lives‚ noting‚ too much. Sitting around a table. For a few minutes.
