BREAKING NEWS: AFTER 3+ YEARS OF STALKING MY VERY COOL CANTONESE-NEW YAWKER NEIGHBORS, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO TEACH ME TAI CHI. WE ARE ONLY 1/3 OF THE WAY INTO FORM 28. THE MAN IN WINTER WEARS AN OLD BURGUNDY NYLON BOMBER JACKET. THE WOMAN HAS AN ÜR AZN GORPCORE STYLE. HE IS A RETIRED ILLUSTRATOR AND ARTIST; SHE FORMERLY IN ACCOUNTING. THEY MOVE IN SYNCHRONICITY AND YET BICKER RE TO WHAT DEGREE TAI CHI SHOULD HAVE A MARTIAL ARTS-COMPONENT. PLOT TWIST: AFTER TAI CHI, THEY GARDEN. (SEE STORIES FOR FITS AND FLOWERS - I FORGOT HOW HERE). THEY ARE HARDCORE GARDENERS, HARDCORE PLANT WHISPERERS AND EQUALLY STRAIGHT UP HARDCORE “NO NEW FRIENDS” KIND OF FOLK SO GOD I PRAY THEY AREN’T ON IG. THE MAN’S HANDS ARE ESPECIALLY MESMERIZING, MORE SO THAN A CUTE CAT CLIP, AND READY FOR BOTH BEAUTY AND WAR. #BEAUTYANDWAR #TAICHI
