Sitting in Delores Park reading my book, I look up to see a middle-aged woman standing a few metres away from me. She has her hands held out in front of her, is shaking slightly, and spasmodically thrusts her hips from side to side. Every now and then she collapses at the waist, flopping forward so her head and ankles meet, before jerking back upright again.
