coffee no. 91

After a lot of insanely hot days there was a big storm and the weather automatically changed. The following day was cloudy and cool, everything looked like in September. I was going very slowly and suddenly noticed really lovely view. On the bus stop there was standing a woman with her small, about four-year-old son. The boy was dressed all in red and was holding a big yellow duck-lifebelt, a kind of the children use when they are learning to swim. He really loved that crazy toy, hardly bore it, but the duck apparently must have been with him all the time. Not a plastic car, not a teddybear -- just huge, rubber, extremely yellow duck-lifebelt that looked fantastic against the red boy's outfit. And both of them looked fantastic against the sad and grey city background.
