I should have been writing my history paper but...
I stood by the window near the fire exit at the end of the corridor. It was a quiet night, apart from the many trucks zooming past the chicken wire fences of the Ateneo. With each breath I took I inhaled cigarette smoke and pollution. I looked to my right and counted all the orange lights. There were 60. There were flashes of white behind the curtained windows of some of the rooms of the buildings across me, and I wondered what the renters were watching. Were they living through their routine shows at this time of the day? Were they watching a couple having sex on TV? Or were they already asleep and left the TV on to heighten their electricity bill?
I heard the sound of a truck horn and I looked to my left. I wondered what the guy jogging along the forest parking was thinking. Once he got back to his dorm room, he would probably take his bath, lie on his bed, and fall into a deep sleep, because exercise does that to you. I looked beyond the school and saw a million orange lights. I started, but lost count after 50. Then I wondered what it all looked like when the world was new.
I should be writing my history paper but instead I'm writing this.
What are we all waiting for?
