...And the adults are behaving like pigeons.

Wandering around the platform.

Snacking on junk food.

Pecking (at devices).

The adults are not good at waiting. They stamp their feet and seethe despite the cold.

The train is late and the children are fine. Children wait all the time: for carpool pickups, for a turn on the swing, for parents to get off their computers, for snack time. They entertain themselves by talking to their stuffed animals or balancing on one foot. A few chase the pigeons until someone tells them to stop. 

I squat to gain a child's perspective. What I notice is how many kinds of shoes people wear. Fur-lined ankle boots, hiking boots, wing-tip oxfords, even some puffy "moon" boots, which seem very retro to me. Everything is thick, heavy, insulated; it's winter in Warsaw.

Perhaps I will find a story in this scene. Pigeons included.
