His face betrays his feeling; and intention. His eyes are affixed, like a predator stalking its intended prey. His teeth are clenched, jaw set.

Just Observing I’m sitting in my commuter station coffee shop finishing a small cappuccino, waiting for a late departing train home. My stool is set by the window which gives me a view out onto the concourse. I drift into watching people entering the station. Different sizes, shapes, ages, creeds.
