I am still in the state of shock. The cop is still in the car. The car is parked on my right. It is a she. She seems not to notice me. I am now sure that I am not her business. I don’t want to look at her directly. So I afford a side-look. The edges of my eyes are sometimes acute. I have a vision like that of an eagle particularly when it comes to some beauties. She walks out of her car. She is communicating on a radio. And at the same time she is texting on her IPhone. For a second I close my eyes and thank God for her beauty. I just don’t want to describe her blue eyes, I just won’t mention nothing about her black hair locked in her hat. She got a good weight. I am playing innocent here.

I am well dressed. My shoes perfectly polished. I got a neck-tie. It’s grey in color. I love to wear a red tie, but it’s so common. I hate being common. I hate being ordinary too. Moreover I selected grey because my pant is grey. (By pant I mean my trouser? I need some sort of matching. I am allergic to color clashing. I am allergic to multi-colors too. It feels kind of awkward to look like a rainbow or Christmas tree. I am in Grey and black only. I am a guest today. I am set to address a group of inmates In a Maximum Security Facility two hours away. Sometimes I embrace discipline. I wonna be there an hour before time. I am supposed to have a session with inmates of this Facility. This program is called Kairos. Kairos is a Greek word that means “God’s time”. I have participated in the Kairos retreat for quite sometime. They love my heavy accent. They love my eloquent religious rhetoric too. Damn it, I am just loveable. If you don’t like am the type I am least interested in. It’s 6.30 ...
