The night air bites as a cluster of figures lingers on the pavement, bathed in the weary glow of traffic lights. Red and amber signals pulse against the dark, marking time for those denied entry. Among them stands Alex, observing the tableau with detached amusement—the frustrated couple, the rehearsed postures, the indifferent driver. He captures the stagnation, the irony of motion without progress, his mind already weaving these stalled moments into verse. The scene is a quiet comedy of errors, a bleak yet beautiful pause before the melody starts.
