Hooded

The hooded clouds, like friars, tell their beads in drops of rain.

Tom is wearing a hooded raincoat.

A group of handsome girls, all hooded and fur-booted, and all chattering at once, tripped lightly off to some near neighbour's house.

Poor Luis. Last night, when he was going home very late, some hooded men turned up and beat him up. He is in the hospital.

Yanni was wearing a hooded poncho.

The hooded crow is unmistakeable with its alternating splotches of black and gray.

The photos show hooded students in auditoriums and cafeterias propagandizing and sharing material against the government.

In the morning of the 21st of January of 2022, at the cafe, I saw that hunky man again that I saw previously, this time sitting with his red laptop at his usual spot near the window. He wore a red hooded jacket with a "W" on it and bulging dark grey pants. I was drinking iced black tea and eating potato chips.

In the sunny afternoon of the 21st of January of 2022, I ate two pizzas at the pizzeria, and at the cafe, I drank a pistachio latte with oat milk. There, a hunky man came in, wearing a black baseball cap, a grey hooded jacket, and beige shorts.

Less than a centimetre of snow layered the grounds of Lulu Island in the sunny morning of the 24th of February of 2022. I took a long route going to the pizzeria, over the vast, whitened school field, which seemed like I was walking on a different moon or planet. I viewed the northern snowcapped bluish mountain range. At the pizzeria, I ate two slices and drank a black effervescent diet drink, whilst I was watching on the big screen the usual morning talk show The View before eleven o'clock. Whoopi Goldberg, who was the mystical black bartender character Guinan in the Star Trek franchise, co-hosted there. Today's guest was Marlee Matlin, a deaf American blonde actress, who knew American Sign Language. She looked like my high school French-language teacher Mrs. Lowry. Meanwhile, in the pizzeria itself, a slender hooded black girl entered to order pizza.
