Why I Love the City

I woke up grumpy after a nightmare of having a rash on my face.  I drank coffee took a shower and went out walking with my dog. An old man walked by. He was singing off key while wearing headphones, "Won't you dance with me?" He wore a kelly green T-shirt and shorts. A young woman wearing yoga pants and a midriff was pumping gas into her white SUV at the Mobil Station. The fog was burning off and the sun illuminated a couple chatting at the Motor Inn parking lot. The woman was wearing a tight fitting mermaid dress accentuating her curvy hips. She had magenta hair. Two 12 year olds buzzed by on scooters wearing khaki pants and maroon shirts, the middle-school uniform. They jumped off the bike path to get to school riding the last half-mile on downtown sidewalks.
