I walked
on the street.
There were
tall trees around me. The leaves
were bright green under the sunshine.
By listening to the music
from my ear phones,
I felt a moment of
peace and joy.
A kid was learning how to ride a bike
on the sidewalk.
His brother besides
Lost his patience,
And finally left him alone. He couldn’t get on the bike.
I stopped at a cross
and waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
All kinds of cars were
rushing by towards somewhere.
I looked up
at the sky.
It was light blue with a few clouds.
Today is a good day, I thought.
I stared at the sky
and witnessed a group of birds flying ahead.
Leaving the wires
They used to stand on.
The brightness of the sun
hurts my eyes, so I lowered my head.
Suddenly,
the music stopped
– it was in the period of changing to another song.
The traffic light turned green.
I started walking to
the other side.
As I walked,
I noticed that
the marks under my feet
were faded.
