Out of Focus

In the words of historian Jacques Presser: The dead must be able to speak, and if they are prevented from doing so, they die twice.

I don't need to hear anything more about how things are going. Just accept it.

Once upon a time, there were some people dancing on a street corner. (Cigarettes and beer bottles in their hands.) Let's talk about that.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw them, not wanting to bother them with my direct gaze, but I heard them talking, too far away to understand.

They must have been acquaintances. Or friends of friends of friends who left their footprints somewhere on the street.
