2:59

It was 2:59
as I turned the corner
to get something to eat,
on an average day,
a familiar street,
when the sun hit my eyes...
Momentarily blind,
I ordered my feet to stop. 
But instead, 
they carried me down the road
reading the cobble stone
through soles thicker than skin.
Suddenly, like an owl, 
I picked up distant sounds,
of tuned acoustic guitar
and quietly spoken words.
Just then, 
rang out the cathedral bells.
Hearing gone, sight returned.
I looked at the time.
Still 2:59

Thank you Mirek for taking part in the contest. I love the way you focus in to seconds of time. And how much can happen. You covered sight and sound. I like the way your feet knew where to go. It is clever how you used one sense to compensate another. When the sun blinded you, you relied on sound. With sight retrieved the sound went. Very good. :-)
