Rachmaninoff
Monday, March 20th, 2006Ever tried listening to Rachmaninoff?
After a tired evening class, I head home —passing along Roxas Ave. In a packed FX. I do not know them, these people.
Outside, everything’s quiet. No happenings.
I listen to the radio and find myself listening to Rachmaninoff.
I gaze out of the window. The night, the shadows. I want to immerse myself in that darkness—it beckons me to discover what is inside.
The people inside, all wanting to go home. All hating each other smells. The odors of a stale day.
I am silent. Just gazing. Like a silhouette i see, a branch of a tree , swaying. It feels free to be one of them.
