An Idle Afternoon
Camera captures....
Few bicycles on the road
Temperature soar
Bikers astride
Pedestrain inch a few stride
Umbrellas are out today
It's not raining
Sitting on the steps of a school building
Shade so soothing
Delving into a world
Where action is replaced by inaction
Housewives glued to TV sitcoms
Rickshawpuller take a nap
Lukewarm business at the grocery store
Most've downed their shutters
The chirping of birds in the surrounding
Butterflies at their variegated best with wings fluttering
Two young calves are cuddling each other
Wrapped by a towel around his waist extending downward
A man with a vest and a sickle in his hand
Runs towards the bamboo grove
A carpenter working with his tool
A lady bringing her child back from school
The interval...
A lull before the frenetic pace of events to unfold?
What stayed with you?
A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
