observing seemed to be today's theme. what i spotted while sitting at a red light helped me understand the world. out the window on one side, the driver side, a woman sat tall in her toyota four runner spurting a fountain of important words into her cell phone, red lip stick lips mechanical. and out the other window, the passenger side, a short woman examined her wallet as her son stood by, watching closely as she opened every pocket, then after several second she turned it upside down and laughed; no dollars floated out or down. her son grinned.
the talks of existentialism and fate, i am confused with what?
he stood over his locker in the shadows of the school hallway. we waved hello but i don't think it's the same anymore.
