Birds & Bulbs

I went today to buy some new parts for my 6000WATT lighting unit. While I was waiting for the guy who sells in the store, a newly married couple in their early 20s got in. They are in their half way through building up their nest, very concerned about money, as every middle-class family in a third-world. They bought a big fluorescent bulbs set to put in the hall.

They seemed so young, innocent and confused. It was very clear in their eyes, the feeling of insecurity. Like little birds on a tree, lonely ones who get cuddled to feel safe. And to skip this cruel feeling of being lonely.

The guy asked the seller to pack the bulbs and set well. That they live far from here and they don't wanna loose the package or have it damaged on their way home. The seller didn't pay attention to what he just said. The guy looked at me, like he was asking me support. Then he took the package unsatisfied and left with his wife.

... I paid for my stuff and left!
