Tara na, samahan mo akong tumaliwas sa agos, dahil
ako’y tulad ng usok na mula sa sasakya’y bumubulusok ; tulad ng ulan na

liwanag na lumalaban sa dilim, o tutubing walang direksyon. Tara na,
samahan mo ako. Padayon!”

body. I thought I would just cross the street with equally bored and
tired climbers of the corporate ladder to hail a bus that would bring me home where I would then force myself to sleep. I was wrong.
