Sweat
April 11th, 2006
It doesn’t happen normally, whether it’s the air pushing back the tide, or just keeping you cool. It always happens when you stop, the sun beating down and your body temperature rises. Then you feel it, it starts as a stinging in the corner of your eyes, but by the time the light turns green you can hardly see. You push off and halfway across the intersection you are thinking about how to wipe your eyes but you know your arms are covered in sweat too.
