He is walking down the boulevard, completely oblivious of the surroundings, with earphones plugged in and music loud just enough to cut off extraneous noise. With his morale almost touching the nadir, the music was nothing more than random notes. He walks down, completely cut off from the physical world, except that he has firmly clutched his phone.
He walks in to a cafe and asks the barista, "Can I get an extra-large Cappuccino, with more espresso and less froth, some whipped cream at the top? And a bit of cocoa powder, please".
The barista returns with the special Cappuccino.
"Just like you like it" with a warm smile.
"Perfect, just like i like it. Thanks a ton!", taking a sip.
Now he walks back the same path, realizing that the expansive promenade divided the famous Commonwealth Avenue at the center. Designed in the French boulevard style, it is defined by sweetgum, green ash, maple, linden, zelkova, Japanese pagoda and elm. The avenue is also punctuated with statuary and memorials.
As he walks up savouring his coffee, he replays his favourite cadences of his fastidiously chosen music. He thinks :What a waste of time it is to worry about something you can't do anything about. And what an agony is it to see your time being wasted away. This is never going to happen again.
He raises the hood over his head, jumps down a step and exclaims "I'm back to myself".
