Some Random Tuesday

Tanah Abang Station, Jakarta. (10:08 AM)

The urban deluge

Pandemonium of thoughts

Curious species

Multitudes are flooding the stairwell of the downtown train station like salmons swimming upstream against the current.

Homebound? Not exactly. Anywhere but, more likely.

Not yet, at least.

Unfinished business. Unpaid bills. Unsolved conundrums. Round and round round they go. Almost in auto-pilot.

Walking in circles, in their self-made labyrinths, capes wrapped tight around their head. No superheroes, them — though their beloved would beg to differ.

Peculiar creatures, indeed. Their curiosity often kills them again and again and again. Curiously, however, some manage to bounce back and go back up to resume their traverse in this plane of existence, trudging along and dragging their feet even if they always wanna die sometimes.

How silly. How beautiful. How… human.

(Special thanks to PJA for the writing idea.)
