As I watched them leave, my disconnect extended stories beyond my reflection. I was an anthropologist from the future, maybe even an alien observing mankind. Suddenly, I felt how temporary they were. How temporary we all were. I looked around, one by one the people in the club disappeared. Though I always wax eloquent on the transience of life, I now felt it viscerally. Our important stories little lives only a brief blip on this old earth and that moment with the couple so small it probably couldn’t be stories quantified. It all felt so silly. Both, the couple and my indignation over them, as if this millisecond in time would make a damn bit of difference. And in the middle of all that noisy, sweaty heat, with one arm above my head as I balanced my tray, I felt the silence of infinity. The awe-inspiring force of forever… Then someone tapped me on my shoulder and the moment was gone.
