Had they been well off, they wouldn’t have been on a scooter in this rain. The pater familias is wearing a raincoat with a peaked cap, the woman holds a pink umbrella and does her best to shield the child squeezed between them. The man is completely protected from the rain, yet every few seconds the woman readjusts the position of her umbrella to cover his head. The dark rain spots on the back of her blouse are coalescing into a deep red patch.
The man’s attention is focused on the road.
rumble of thunder
the scooter swerves sharply
around a pothole
