I was not really surprised by what he was saying. A lot of people thought that way. Especially men. There was a quantity of things that men hated. Or had no use for. And that was exactly right. They had no use for it, so they hated it. Maybe it was the same way I felt about algebra—I doubted very much that I would ever find any use for it.

He doesn’t stress the poetic employment. I call it his aw-shucks persona—but I can see the point.

An immediate flock of new surroundings, asking for your attention in a way they never did when you were sitting on the train and just looking out the window. Life around coming to some conclusions about you from vantage points you couldn’t see.
