Standing Water

A Welsummer rooster in a dove-gray linen suit with pale blue pocket square and dark green Wellington boots, paused at the edge of a rain puddle on a wet cobblestone European city street, his reflection visible in the still water, bright diffused post-rain light with bokeh city background

The puddle was not deep, but depth had never been the point. He owned the boots for occasions precisely like this — and the occasion, as he understood it, was knowing when the road ahead is someone else's problem.
