vitrine -- Michel Yang -- Tue 24 Jun 2008 -- 0 reactions [ inspired by Italo Calvino's if on a winter's night a traveler ]
--- You have stopped to watch what is happening in this vitrine. Relax. Enjoy. Despel every other thought. Let the world around you fade. Best to come a little closer. You may not know what is happening or what is to happen. No matter. Just make yourself comfortable.
The people on the inside seem friendly to you. Someone is baking cookies. Wait a little and she might give you one. Someone else is videotaping. Maybe you are being videotaped. If it is early you might see someone washing the windows. You notice that what you do, here on the outside, changes something on the inside.
You see someone having coffee. She seems nice. The chair in which she sits looks cozy. You see there is another cozy chair before her. It looks inviting. You wonder if she is waiting for you. You consider having a cup of coffee with her. You go in.
---
You see a woman in a green dress walking towards you. She's coming from 100 meters further down the sidewalk. She glances at you. Or so you think, she has glanced at you. In fact you are sure it was you that she was looking at. Did she mean something by that? Was it a sign? Does she have something to tell you?
There is a man behind the vitrine further ahead of you. He's cleaning the window. He takes a glance at you. You shyly look away. You have the feeling that you've seen him before. In fact you believe it is someone you know. He could be a neighbour.
