A History

The newness of everything had faded. Even momentary renewal would have helped. So I left. Went as far as I dared. When the scenery was just about unidentifiable, I stopped. Near a cinema. Went in and bought a ticket. Didn't know what was playing or when. 

Screen flickers on a mostly empty house. And moments later I have company. Another educational vagabond. Law student. We exchange pleasantries. Watch the movie. Leave without saying a word.
