Commuters Leaning into Wind Beneath Rail Overpass

by Griffin Marquez

Bright midmorning light floods the corner of a tiled cafe in Jiufen, Taipei, where commuters huddle beneath a concrete rail overpass. Thick midsummer clouds drift overhead, casting shifting shadows across the wet pavement. People lean sharply forward, their jackets pulled tight against a sudden gust that ruffles their hair and flaps their sleeves. The foreground is partially obscured by a weathered wooden sign hanging from a nearby eave, its faded red characters facing the street. Behind the group, the grey steel of the train tracks runs parallel to the sidewalk, disappearing into the hazy mountain distance. A plastic raincoat sleeve catches the light, revealing a sharp crease where the wind has pressed it against the arm.
