thinking today

Walking through Grand Central at 9:04 this morning, we were asked to have a moment of silence in remembrance for the lives that were lost. Nobody stopped talking though. I thought about being that crazy woman who orders that everyone stops moving and shows some fucking respect but I was pretty sure that wouldn't sit well with the police presence (who were observing the moment of silence). And as these thoughts passed through my head, I realized that I was walking too.
