Today While Walking...

Today while walking:

I saw a woman brushing her hair on the church steps. It was with a crowd of people that seemed to be meeting  for something. I wonder what the meeting about because some looked unhoused and others looked down on their luck. There were also women in purple shirts that seemed to be leading the group. I didn’t want to stare too hard so I couldn’t read the shirt. Thank you for your service ladies.

I saw the mute man again but this time he mouthed good morning and then said “I hope you’re having a great day so far.” I was a little shocked but shouldn’t have been. I’ve only seen him once. So I mouthed back yes I am.

I saw the sun and moon again with more birds than yesterday dancing. Is the migration happening? I recently saw the movie The Wild Robot and the birds flying reminded me of that.

I saw a Barney purple Maserati. Must be a cool clown was my thought.

I saw a man pushing his bike instead of riding it. Maybe he was tired. He didn’t have a helmet and had his AirPods in.

I saw 3 women walking like they were having their Sex in the City New York moment. They took up the whole sidewalk so I walked in the street.

10:25 AM

I saw the same security guard that I see every morning. He lets me walk by the sidewalk closed sign. While we exchange good mornings.

Today I saw the First Baptist Church fountain turn on for the first time since the fire.

Today while walking to work...

Today while walking to work:

I saw the sun and the moon at the same time with the birds dancing between them. 

I saw a one legged bird playing with the rest of the two legged birds. The bird must have told the others of their tale. 

I saw a very dapper man in a navy suit running to catch the bus. Does he have a car or is he conscious of his carbon footprint. 

I saw a person throwing punches in the air like they were training for a fight. I wonder if they won said future fight. 

I saw a man on an e-bike who was riding on the sidewalk. He came rather close to hitting me. Must have been terrified to ride on the empty street. 

I saw a man pretend to throw a basketball through an imaginary hoop. I really hope he scored.

A man mouthed the words good morning and smiled. He had a very nice smile and had a gym bag with him. I wonder why he was mute though. 

I was honked at 3 times but for a wave and a smile and not because I was in the way. One of them happened to be my boyfriend taking another route to work. 

I saw 5 people sleeping outside. Each of them had a blanket. Makes me wonder what choices were made to get to this moment.
