he was walking with friends
with his hands in the pockets of his jeans
when he saw a shivering girl
stood outside a busy cafe
her right hand in a plaster cast
and stitches over her left eye
dressed in boots and jeans,
a heavy, gray pea coat and colorful scarf
her hair was bright red
tied back in a pony tail
thick plumes of steam escaped her mouth
as she breathed out into the ice cold air around her
he thought about leaving his friends
to cross the street and say hello to her
to find out what happened to her
but the thought left him as fast as it came
and he passed her by.
