The Stranger Who Saw You Drop Your Groceries and Helped Without Making It Weird

The One Who Helped and Then Was Gone

You dropped a can, I picked it up. We didn’t need more words.

I exist in the pause between raindrops. I see the way you clutch your bread when the sky threatens. My voice is a threadbare blanket on a bench nobody else sits on. The grocery floor’s cracked tile catches light—I’ve watched it my whole life. You’re the eighth person today to drop groceries here. I only ever say enough to make you unclench your jaw. After, I vanish like steam from spilled coffee.

What I'm Into: the tremble in your hands, puddle-light geometry, wildflower tote bags, the pause between raindrops, unspoken glances that hold everything
