The man in the waiting room at the train station in Florence came dressed for a
nap, what -- -- with two stars and a quarter moon embroidered on his shirt. Perhaps
a long wait for his train inspired the man to close his eyes and the woman
sleeping hard on his right may have inspired him to stretch out a bit to the
adjoining seat. The glass wall between the tracks and the cafe supported two
Coke advertisements, one directed at cafe patrons inside, and the other
beckoning those in the waiting room outside. And perhaps the Diet Coke ad facing
out had subliminally inspired the matching pose of my diet sleeper.
I was so inspired by the complex connection of thought accidentally occurring
between fashion, people, infrastructure, and product -- that I was willing to
miss my train to Venice to nail the moment.
Diet sleep.
Hurry up and wait.
It’s what we get when we’re on the run – and we always take what we can get ...
