Italians Talk with their Hands

stopover in Milano - Waiting in Milano Malpensa Airport to board my flight to Delhi, through the window pane to the other waiting room an Italian business man prototype of my friend Katie's younger brother Billy. Thickly-knit brows as he clasps the phone to his left ear, his right hand bounces back and forth, here and there filling out every quickly spoken syllable as though his hands initiated the words and they coultn' be poignant enough. A surprise moment of inspection as he hoticed his nails growing through the wait to board. How great to see such expression!
