A Snapshot

I'm riding the Human Powered Freight Train (aka, the Xtracycle with the trailer attached): a 100 pound mess of aluminum, steel, rubber and wood, to which is strapped the cello in its battered black case. The swirling night coalesces around me, embodied by a man walking past: a human-sized Hagrid, all black and grey hair. His voice, which is comfortably familiar with the tang of tobacco and whisky, murmurs into a telephone. "He's got a stand-up bass on a trailer behind his bike..." He might have ended the comment with, "Wicked," but I couldn't be sure.
