I am in the waiting room of mydentist’s office, waiting. The tworeceptionists are at the window; there’sbeen a collision out front on the street.Their awws andlook over there’sand the tst tst tst’scompete with the easy-listening radio.One of the women is reconstructing theincident as she imagines it playing out.Deciding who is who.The victim by her posture.The negligent by his.The sirens, slow to come, are coming.The front door opens.The receptionists return to their desks in unison.
