Andi was vaguely aware of something moving closer to them from the top of their vision. They were however, so close to finding the perfect emoji to compliment their apology text that they didn’t bother to look up.
A breathless ‘oh’ of surprise escaped them as they collided with said foreign body, that hadn’t moved out of their way as expected. And since said foreign body was wildly larger than they were Andi found themselves knocked to the ground, which prompted another surprised noise from them as their bottom met pavement. The flouncy curl of their hair bounced with the motion Ruined coffee and papers rained down in the space between them. They heard their phone clatter somewhere on the sidewalk.
Andi’s first reaction was to apologize. They had just opened their mouth to do so, but the man they had collided with beat them to it. To speaking first, anyway, because that certainly was not an apology. “Wait,” Andi demanded, pushing their glasses back up their nose. They looked down at their now coffee-stained t-shirt. A big dark splotch stained their jeans. “You’re trying to blame me?” The more they spoke the more difficult their unmistakably Irish brogue was discernible. They pushed themselves up onto their knees to snatch at papers they could immediately identify as their own. “What about reading and walking. Do you have eyes,” they finished, lamely.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
