The vibrating washers and dryers in the apartment's communal laundry room. The conversation shared while waiting for the laundry to spin takes on a new turn as you sit atop the dryer. On the rumbling machine transmitting vibrations, in the enclosed space filled with the scent of detergent.
The vibration of the washing machine/dryer is the key device. The scent of detergent, the sensation of warm laundry. Tension in a shared space.
Coin laundry room in the basement of a new studio apartment building. Both know that no one comes at 2 AM, so they start aligning their laundry times.
Sit on running dryer, vibrations transmit through whole body. Stand between legs of person sitting facing, 30 minutes until dry cycle ends is time to do everything. Detergent and softener scent envelops two people, machine hum covers sounds.
