Sunday’s quiet was interrupted by two aged bohemians who resorted to fisticuffs to settle a dispute over elevator access. The P.A. was already on the elevator when the B.P. attempted to get in, along with his bicycle. The P.A. blocked his entrance and told him to wait for the next elevator. (The elevators take forever.) The B.P. tried to force his way on at which point the P.A. called him a “stupid old woman.” This riled the B.P. who threw his bike at the P.A. and spat upon him. This would have devolved into an even uglier bout had not a fashion designer run out and told them they were both acting like little kids and shamed them into ceasing. One of them took the stairs. This was only the latest round in a long standing feud. The feud is not over literary or artistic matters, as far as I know.
