Weird way to live

I was struck by the strangeness of something I saw the other day. Someone ahead of me on the pavement walking along holding a phone instead of putting it in a pocket.
    Not looking at it, just clutching it as if their life depended on an immediate response to a call. Not that there was one in the five minutes before a parting of our ways.
    “People are strange,” the Door sang on their second album. They sure got that right!
