Junction

Going to Japan again soon. So here’s a piece of nonsense :))))))



18/11/2011 6:49 PM, Osaka

Autumn, no twilight, 16 degree C and drizzling.

A guy, holding up an umbrella, standing near a t-junction in the town.

He seems to be lost and he stands there for more than 10mins.

Maybe he is just wondering why heaven weeps.

He started to look around and, apparently, he doesn’t know what to do next.

He sees maple leafs floating on the wind: just like the plastic bag scene of American Beauty.

He tries to catch a maple leaf. He also picks up some on the street.

He stares at the leafs for a moment.

Finally, he decides to head back where he came from. Maybe he’s going back to his hotel or maybe he’s going to Shin Osaka at next turn.

“You’ve got to put the past behind you, keep your faith and move forward.” Maybe he has just not enough courage to continue the journey ahead.

He disappears, eventually and finally the rain stops.
