Introspection

The man was sitting on the bench, his gaze lost, he seemed elsewhere, perhaps deep in thought, or wondering what he was going to eat for lunch. His posture gave the impression that he was thinking about something grand, like the meaning of life, or simply meditating on his next cup of coffee. In this quiet corner of town, everything seemed to slow down, and for a moment, it was just him and his thoughts, hanging on the last autumn leaves.
