cha cha

people rushed out of the train then packed at the base of the escalator.
when my turn came, a guy motioned to me to go first.
i hesitated at first.
then decided to go for it at the same time he already changed his mind.
this dance went on for several seconds.
then finally, i muttered, "i am so sorry. thank you", and smiled.
i climbed the steps shaking my head a bit in amusement:
i caused delays for some during rush hour,
chivalry's not dead,
and i was still early for work.
