an ailing man in great physical discomfort arranges to take public transportation to a shopping mall in order to purchase comfortable shoes so that he might take up walking again. Examing a pair that cost far more than he can afford on his disability pension, he happens to look up and catch the eye of a young attractive woman who stares at him with a mixture of pity, disgust and relief that she is young and healthy. In his overwhelming desire to maintain some connection with the ongoing celebration of beauty, life and love that is his birthright, he imagines that her look signifies romantic interest.
