parallel walking
Everyday I walk down the steps to the N/Q line at Canal st, there are hordes of people along the wall, waiting for the next train. As I walk cautiously close to the yellow line/ledge, I slow behind people with bags, or the elderly, only to pass quickly, dodging the oncoming line of people walking from the R up to the ground. Finding a place to wait can be difficult because the wall space is usually full, and if I was to stand in front of someone near the wall, I would block the narrow path I was just walking. Inevidibly someoned does just this, "double parking" themselves, causing an abrupt jam of motion and a possible collide as someone tries to walk around. Last night as I cruised along searching for a spot, a young girl huddled closer to her friend, creating an area for me to stand. Beeping, under my breath, I backed up to fill the spot.
