Scene #1 ( the bikes accumulation )



I am sitting at the Pier of Christopher St. In Manhattan New York and there is these three people one guy and two girls standing still I am behind them I think they are rehearsing something because they feel very committed to it, one of the girls have black straight long hair and is blowing with the cold wind of the spring, the other girl just interrupted the stillness and look over the bikes accumulation. I have the feeling that she got nervous about being robbed in such an open and urban space, the guy is the only one now that is at the same position as when I arrived. He turn towards both women and still with his back at me he make this gesture with his right hand like explaining something in just one second the girl with the long hair take her bike her other belongings and leave the spot in quite a rush with her chest really strong in her walk and she is no turning her head towards the others, the two left are still talking he is doing again the same gesture with his right hand, the last girl now is walking is picking her bike her bag and walks away with out waiting for him, in a very slow pace he fix his clothing pick his bag and grab his bike now he is walking in a calm way, they are gone.
I want to believe something most happened so that the peace I found broke before my eyes and I did not even notice the conflict. The evening just got dark the water is making a soft noise and the wind is still blowing cold over my chest, I am cold. I got it go.
