Ignoring the world, I walk, head down, straight through a puddle.
Cold, rain water soaks my trainers, because I couldn’t find my boots. I also forgot my best friend’s present, ruined a cake, missed the first train and probably left something on that’ll burn down the house.
Today, I’m out of sync with the universe.
When the next train arrives late, the window offers me a reflection that looks like a wet poodle.
The doors hiss open, people gather around but rather than bumping me, someone steps aside.
I look up.
A strangers smiling face nudges me back in sync.
