Mr. Mime!
As I was waiting at Union Square for a friend to arrive, I saw a large crowd that had gathered just a few feet away from me. Curious to see what people were looking at, I walked over to check out what was happening. From what I could see on my tiptoes behind the crowd, there stood a mime. I had never really seen a mime perform apart from on television. It was humorous to watch the emotions of fear he displayed on his face as he pretended to be trapped in a box. His rigid arm gestures created the illusion of the box and the panic that he showed made the crowd laugh. It was beautiful to watch him move because his motions made something literally out of thin air. Out of his arm motions, he threw a lasso into the crowd and struggled to pull an individual in. I though that it was wonderful how he had such an imagination to create such a vivid show for the people.

It just nice to see free shows in the subway stations, lol. Nowadays, these subway performers are getting more and more creative (perhaps more of them are competing for the people’s compassion).
