two middle-of-the-citie boys crossing the street-busy, carrying a computer between them, approximately half way dropped it. it happened in slow motion, the graceful slip from one of their clumsy grasps, then the fumbling other, and the shattering on the asphalt like a giant mechanic drop of rain. the cars half-screeching to a halt all around them, the pedestrians faltering mid-step, and the look of shock/horror on their faces exactly to any funniest-home-video script. I would have taken a photo, but 1) it happened far too quickly, despite its slow-motion, 2) my digital camera's picture-perfect memory was already full, and 3) they made it safely to the other side without dropping it. ah, well.
