One subway car. He gets on at 14th Street, wheeling a huge bass fiddle, and stands in the entryway of one of the two doors of the car. She boards at 23rd Street, lugging an equally large bass fiddle and stands in the other entryway of the car. She never looked at him. He kept checking her out of the corner of his eye. I kept wondering what the odds were that they were not going to the same place and why didn’t they at least lug, wheel their instruments to be together in one doorway. 86th Street stop, they both disembark. He moves faster because his bass is on wheels, she has no wheels so has to hoist it up on her side/back. He meets her at the subway toll exit. They speak.
