This Is This

This kindly looking man,early 50’s is always reading something religious. Not just the bible, and never pop-christo paperbacks, but serious theological texts. Like books about the duties of the Church during the Renaissance. Or guides about the current role of the Church of England. He always looks happy and he is always, without fail, sitting at the front of the bus.

Oooh, what if he didn’t exist? The man, I mean, not God.

What if one day I said there were no seats and told the driver and he said “Sit there?” and pointed to the seat he always sits at and he wasn’t there. And when I pointed out that I’d just seen him there and described him, they didn’t know who I was talking about.

And then what if the bus crashed and burst into flames and the only seat that survived, totally intact, was his seat, which I was in.

Far out.
