Writer’s Block Pt. 1
I met a college student on the train. I tried to stare forward, confident his lean face and $50 haircut would leave me alone if I acted remote.
But our seats move together by design, propelled along tracks for miles. I found myself gesturing and speaking automatically. It’s a trait of introversion to feel like an actor in front of other people. Coincidentally, a lot of actors are introverted.
I remember clearly the laces of my shoes when I’m acting.

When I read the words of others, I often skip words without realizing it. And at other times, depending on my mood, I’ll skip entire paragraphs of reading. When I don’t care to hear it, I’ll avoid noticing words coming out of mouths. If I grow bored with what somebody is saying, is that person boring or am I?
