Just Pick it Up - (July-August 2018)

I was about to cross a traffic road
to the station to work
one cloudy morning,
where a motorcyclist roam across
before me.

I noticed an object on the road,
a marine blue rubber slipper
on sight.
Was it there before?? 

The motorcyclist slowly stopped
It was an Indian uncle
reversing his motorcycle
was he reaching his slipper?

My body was moving forward,
I didn't hesitated to try to pick it up
But then a car from another traffic road
went over, the driver didn't stumble it.

I was a bit careless back there
Like a child trying to pick up a bouncing ball,
trying to reach the slipper
without prioritizing my own safety.

Well nothing happened,
gladly, I went to pick it up,
and place it under the his foot.

He thanked me,
with a gentle smile with
that cool looking mustache .
