A large bumblebee hitched a ride on my shoulder.
Near the metro station where i came above ground, i had already seen something moving in the corner of my eye. Due to my deafness on that side, i had heard nothing. It wasn't until a few blocks away that i noticed that i had a passenger on board, and there the clever little animal slowly rocked away from me towards a large rose bush.
At the traffic light a little further on i heard a hum, from a bumblebee with dreads and mirrored sunglasses on a bright yellow low-rider. He looked at me. I looked back. He looked at the traffic light. His light turned green, he looked at me again, and zoomed away. Maybe he was an asshole. Maybe not.
I'm a sucker for love. But i'm a little tired.
