Save Livejournal Month, Day 12: Friends

[dotinthesky]

Eastern European builders often travel in pairs. Young Dantes shown the sights by careworn Virgils.

Their fingers are stubby, lined with cuts; their fingernails are dirty. They unashamedly dig into their noses and scratch their crotches. But when they laugh, their smiles are white.

They share jokes in their tongues, usually about some stranger in the train. Beautiful women bring on moody silences though; they search the floors for something to look at.

Some travel alone, don’t have a buddy from back home. On the streets, they carry cans of beer and walk upright; they never look to the sides.

When I lived in a different (very Polish) part of Brooklyn, I'd be on the train with similar guys. I can see them so clearly.

I find them very male - I can only imagine what their homes are like! Especially as it looks like they live together in great numbers to bring down their individual rent fees.

Sounds like some good slash fodder!
