while waiting for a cab, i saw two young, attractive men in office suits, taking off their footwear before entering the gates of the temple. in a few minutes, they exited through the right wing of the main structure, looking so grave, i almost didn't recognize them. i saw them approaching what to me looked like a trash bin. but then they started addressing the thing, furiously spitting out what seemed to me to be really vicious curses, while they violently cast stones, or something hard and unwieldy, against the sides of the tin drum. after a few minutes, they calmed down, wiped off the sweat covering their faces, and went back into the temple perhaps to say a few more prayers. then, they emerged from the gates, stepped into their shoes, and merged with the crowd.
