Mobile worries
At the bus-stop, two boys of 13 or 14. They are sitting on a low front-garden wall, legs splayed, mobile phones held out in front of them at eye level.
They speak without looking at each other and without moving their lips.
- I got wun poun twenny six pee onnit.
- Twenny free pee, me. Sall I ever ave. Jussenuff fer wun teks.
Silence. Both brows furrow. They continue staring at the phones.
I wait for them to mention Godot. ¶ 12:07 pm

Like listening to poetry in a foreign language. You know it means something, but you're not exactly sure what....
