connecting with my cosmos

there must've been something in the air this morning (perhaps post-long weekend madness?).

i was sitting at the front section of the bus where the seats face eachother. to my right was a woman who was knitting a woollen jumper out of bright orange thread - but that’s fine. it just got a bit weird when she started humming.. not just quiet hmm hmm's but LOUD HUMMM DUM DUM DUM HMMM. when this first started, i caught the eye of the boy sitting opposite me and we had a moment of acknowledgment. he was thinking "okay you think shes a freak too don’t you?" and i agreed.

MEANWHILE the bus driver is like booming this tape she was listening to. how do i explain this. the tape was a couple of guys talking about astrology… but they had weird like gypsy voices and were talking about the lake of sagittarius and the moon of gemini being orbitus at full pull. the guy and i again had a moment of acknowledgment.. a longer one this time.

as the humming became more intense and the astrologist tape got stranger, the guy and i kept exchanging looks trying to hold in our smirks.

this went for a good 20 mins.

THEN one of the gyspy astrologists said "astrology is a healthy and perfect way of connecting with our cosmos. while science is narrow and religion is rigid, astrology is a sexy medium", the guy and i locked eyes and just BURST out laughing. this made the woman stop humming and the bus driver look over her shoulder.

no post can really express how funny it was.
