Metron & Ktotut
Ktotut
Hey Metron, ever noticed how the traffic lights at that corner run in this almost hypnotic rhythm—like the city is humming a secret beat just for us?
Metron
Yeah, I noticed it too. Every cycle is a perfect three‑second interval—green, yellow, red—like a metronome that never misses a beat. If you time your walk right, you can cross the street with almost no wait. The city’s really got a pulse you can feel if you pay attention.
Ktotut
Exactly, the city’s just a giant drum that never stops. I tried timing it once, but I’m so impatient I started running the beat before the lights even turned green.
Metron
You got ahead of the meter, like trying to count a drum before the first beat—fun, but the rhythm’s still the same. Watch the light, match the tempo, and you’ll feel the city’s pulse in sync, not out of sync. Maybe wait a little longer, and the green will feel like a perfect opening note.
Ktotut
Nice! I’ll try to wait just right next time—though I’m already half‑way to the next corner, so that might backfire. If the green’s the opening note, I’ll make sure to play the whole song, even if I miss the first beat.
Metron
Sounds like a solid plan. Just keep the count in mind—if you hit the first beat even a fraction late, the whole cadence still feels right. The city’s drum doesn’t mind a bit of improvisation; it’s all part of the rhythm. Good luck staying in tune.
Ktotut
Thanks, I’ll keep my eyes on the beat and my feet on the pavement—just remember, if the light’s a bit off, I’ll still swing in with the rhythm and hope the city doesn’t mind my off‑key improvisation.
Metron
Just make sure the improvisation is still in time—otherwise you’ll feel the beat but miss the tune. The city’s usually forgiving, but it’s best to keep your rhythm tight. Good luck keeping in step.
Ktotut
Sure thing—watch the cycle, catch that green like a quick riff, and if I miss a beat, I’ll just improvise a little and keep the vibe going. Let's not let the lights turn into a solo I can't sync with.
