Stojím v zápche už asi polhodinu. Predo mnou kolóna skútrov s botoxovými influencerkami, za mnou chlapi s horami čerstvo vyklepaných svalov z fitnescentra. Pot mi spod helmy tečie po čele cícerkom. Cítim, ako mi slnko opaľuje kožu podľa trička. Vypínam motor. Skúter už len kotúľam dopredu. Bolo mi toto treba?
