Sorry, mother’s trying to call, even though I keep telling her not to call.  I just don’t have time to make small talk for an hour.

                This stupid screen isn’t adjusting to the light let me
                The man suddenly crashed quite violently into another, coming out of the collision a spitting, furious mess.  The tall man he had crashed into had been standing still, taking in some view and now apologized and offered a disarming smile that somehow managed to quell the tempest of invective that threatened to spill out from the other man’s mouth.  There was something odd about the tall man; his eyes seemed to curiously wander from face to face.  The other man simply stared at the tall man while retrieving his phone from the ground and stared around to see at what he had been staring.
                His eyes glimpsed the beautiful way the light danced off the distant and near skyscrapers, finding its way to the lake in the central park.  He walked around as if in a daze, taking in a view he had been long been oblivious to.  He slowly made his way to the work he had visited daily for years, taking wrong turns often.  His pocket buzzed every minute or so.

As he stumbled into the city block containing his workplace, he stopped for a moment to take in the view of a building that was all-too familiar, but strangely new at the same time.  He enjoyed the stylish curves that accented the edifice’s slow ascent into the heavens. 
But the man’s observations were suddenly interrupted as another man crashed quite violently into him.
