Greyhound Nighthawks

This is the simple story,

A beautiful young woman, Adair, leaves her loving Nebraska family and community to go to NYC. There, she meets a woman named Ghislaine.

We are at the beginning.

Adair is leaving her loving Nebraska family and community to go to NYC.

She’s at the Greyhound Bus station with her parents. The only other person in the station is Margaret, the ticket clerk.

Adair and her parents are wracked with the most overwhelming emotions of sorrow and regret, which they do not properly express, or show– in any way.

I do not know how, or why, they maintain this so-called positive mental attitude.

I suspect it is this so-called positive mental attitude goofing them up, and, because I also strongly suspect the positive mental attitude is related to Spam, Spamination, or Spamination-abomination, I will do my best to investigate.

Right now, what intrigues me is my own strong feeling all this bottled-up sorrow and regret has a vivid association with what Edward Hopper showed us in his painting, Nighthawks.

This scene shouldn’t, in my opinion, have much to do with the scene of Adair and her parents at the rural Greyhound bus station. Just as one example, this setting is in Chicago– a densely-populated urban space. Okay, another reason is these people are probably strangers, gathering out of insomnia or insomnia and a sense of loneliness. I can’t go on due to my own feelings of remorse.
