After-thought

February 27, 2010 account of a curious event
12:08 AM
I was minding my steps, one foot always ahead of the other, forward... forward... forward... when I unassumingly peeked to my left through the gap in my bangs. That was when I spotted Krizzie. Gliding. Against a backdrop of tarpaulins that says: SMART LOAD NA DITO! or GLOBE AUTOLOAD MAX; and glass casings full of mobile phones. Eyes entranced by something in the distance. The roundness of the cheeks lifted high by the the corners of the lips. Odd. Though the lips were parted and showing both sets of teeth, it formed no upward arch at the corners which is presumed to hold those plump cheeks high, almost pushing the lower eyelids to touch its sibling. I looked around and everybody was minding their own steps, one foot forward, another foot forward. They don't see Krizzie. Only I see Krizzie.

Krizzie smiling fool.
