tonight

Now that you've become aware of this light you can't leave the house without getting drunk on it.

you walk home in it, except instead of the sky supplying both light and dark, this time the procession of hundreds carrying their lighted cross creates the luminous part to counter the navy blue canopy overhead

you take off your headphones twice for those you pass
the first with whom you make plans
the second, you follow the mass with, right to the anglican church where they return, all the while he maintains eye contact. you are scared as you wonder whether he does this to get what he wants from people, you relax when you realize he should have it all anyway.
