I missed it by seconds. Saw it disappear at the lights. Thought about running. Didn't. Checked the timetable. Checked it again. Forty minutes. Mm. Fine. There was a shop across the road. Never noticed it before. Maybe I had. Doesn't matter. Forty minutes is forty minutes, so I crossed. I wasn't looking for anything. That's important. I went in, walked around, picked things up, put them down, and then— Yellow glasses. Put them on. Took them off. Put them on again. Different. Not better. Different. Mm. I bought them. I was only looking. Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Only looking. Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Forty minutes. Outside. Glasses on. Everything looked slightly different. Not better. Just... more interesting. Cars. Windows. Faces. Traffic lights. And then someone waved. At me? I looked behind me. Nobody. Looked back. Still waving. Mm. So I crossed the street. They started walking. I followed. I was only looking. Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Only looking. Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Da-ba-di, da-ba-da Forty minutes. Wasn't that your bus? Mm? Oh. Probably. Da-ba-di, da-ba-da... Da-ba-di, da-ba-da... Da-ba-di, da-ba-da... Da-ba-di, da-ba-da... I was only looking... Forty minutes...
