old friends
I keep running into the same old couple, I don't actually think they are a "couple", just old people who like to go everywhere on the CTA together. They look like they're 80, and they are what I always pictured old people to be. I ran into them at the Pulaski stop, and the old lady told the old man to hurry up, and the old man in his grumpy, but not actually grumpy voice said "I'm right behind you". I saw them at seven in the morning on the kedzie bus, they ran after a bus that was leaving, the old man waved his cane and the old lady yelled "wait for us!!". Another time the old man kept trying to rest his eyes, but the old lady kept trying to tell hims stuff, so he would just go mmhhmm and close his eyes again. It was probably one of the cutest things in the world. The old man always has a cane, and the old lady always has a plastic shopping bag, they both have the same boots, and the same green gloves. The old man has a black and white beaded neck card holder, and the old lady has a blue one. They dress like hipsters, or hipsters dress like them.
