You Were Stuck on the Balcony

​

      It all happened abruptly in the blink of an eye. The carelessness of one’s own in the midst

of a scorching afternoon.  You were on the apartment’s balcony, doing the typical routine of

hanging dry your clothes.   Your body was drenched in sweat as you squatted while tirelessly

washing a few of your filthy socks in the bathroom. Loincloth was the only thing that covered your clammy self at the moment. But as far as one’s mind can wander, you were currently positioned yourself chilling in the cafe, visualizing what you would do after completing this mundane task, which is overwhelming your body in the cool breeze under the aircon.
