was on the train at the door admiring the storm when
some guy next to me started talking about the weather
so i obliged
yes i love thunderstorms
yes i do have an umbrella
and you?
he showed me his
umbrella
opened it too, which is a big nono
it is july in lunar calendar — ghost month
this is how you get ghosts

i took a few more looks at the sky
walked away from him
sat back down
