Speak, memory
Most of the time Pike Place Market in Seattle has a few itinerant preachers around and about. This day was no exception. There was a guy with a megaphone talking about salvation and the Bible and whatnot. This time though, there was a woman with a cigarette who was listening. Very closely. In fact, she was standing about 15 inches from the preachers’ face just staring at him. Both carried on as if the other wasn’t there. My taking the photo unfortunately caught her eye so she looked away briefly at me instead of at him, but the photo still gives the sense of what was happening. When I left the odd couple was still there. Him preaching the world of God, her standing there staring and occasionally taking a drag on her cigarette.
