#57 bus, inbound:

I push my way through the clot of passengers who insist upon standing less than three feet from the entrance. As I do, I overhear two high school students talking.

"The next person who pushes past me, I'm gonna like [he makes a swiping motion with his elbow at face level], I swear."

"Ha! Yeah, seriously."

Three stops later, they both give up the seats they had found to the elderly couple who had just gotten on the bus. They smile politely at the thanks they receive and go back to standing in the front.
