I was going to go to work
but instead I kept walking
and I ended up at the nature reserve
and I sat by the river
and it started to rain
and the rain felt nice
I sat there for an hour or two, I barely moved
I just let myself feel it wash over me
it was not heavy
nothing is that heavy, really
I got up and I walked and walked and walked
and I found a bench and sat down again
and a dog ran up and sat on the bench with me,
and he kissed me
and I laughed
and his owner walked past, pointed upwards and said
"do you think those birds up there are cormorants or gannats?"
I said
"I think theyre cormorants but I'm not sure. all I can tell is that theyre very big birds."
we both smiled
and he kept on walking.
