The guy with the coat


It rained again, yesterday…
…around 6.00 pm.
Lying in bed…
catching up on some reading when
the first rush of wind came…
Knocking over the plastic vase by the window.

The curtains went berserk.
Few drops of rain fell steadily onto the window sill.
Then, a few more into the room – wetting the hard cement floor.
Breathing in the surrounding calmness like a drink…
For a while…lost.
Simply, be.

Saw a guy sprinted across the parking lot…
…had to admit, the dude got style…
He didn’t use an umbrella…
He placed his coat over his head instead.
The kind of scene you see in the movies…

Not caring for his hair…or his shoes…
he seemed not to care about anything…
And he was smiling…
Far from noticing someone is watching from the third floor window…
He seemed to be enjoying the rain.

Yeah, i know the feeling...
i love the rain too, just like you.


hope i can be that carefree too...
hope i can be confident enough to live life as
i want it to be.
