There was a sign. | Can & Able T-145

there was a sign. I couldn't see it. my playlist did.

I saw it when I was done.

there was someone running along. I wasn't alone in those kms. my heartbeat crossed 160 a few times, I didn't worry. I slowed down. I picked up again. the sun was getting brighter. I slowed down.

I looked at the two almost empty bottles of my leap salt water. I saw a small shop. I asked for a coke, and if she would take gpay or have change for 500. no gpay, no change, she said. the elderly lady reminded her of some she had, and — "grahak kyun modna" — in pahadi. she found it and called me back. someone was always there. I asked her if I should open the bottle while she fetches the change. she said open it. don't worry. sit down.

someone was always there. I wasn't alone. I just couldn't see it until I was back in the car.
