There is a studied choreography of personal space between these Seattlites, and an unconscious similarity in pose. I imagine the gentleman in the center to be thinking, "I am NOT lookin' at his HAT. Sure, we're wearing the same exact thing and I feel mortified, but I'm not asking what store he got his at. Probably paid more than I did, anyway! No, I'll just act like I don't notice we look like twins. . .OMG, he's even standing like me!"
I was thinking that these folks leaning against Peet's Coffee & Tea while waiting for their bus are in danger of strangers trying to decorate and dress them up, mistaking them for the interactive art piece called "Waiting for the Interurban," located diagonally across the street from where they're standing. I'm sure the woman would quickly be sporting a hat, too, and some colorful version of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" would be foisted upon them all.
