man and banana

I clipped my dog Romeo's nails, then we hopped in the car and drove to Temple Street and parked in the shade under the huge maple tree. We began our walk.

A muscular middle-aged man walked by wearing navy blue shorts and a navy blue T-shirt. He was swinging his arms, sporting white ear pods. I noticed that he was gripping something in his right hand. Not a phone, it was yellow. A banana! A man walking with a banana!

I spotted a lady planting a garden and we started talking. We chatted about our dogs who looked like twins, and sourdough bread making. 

Then Romeo and I walked onto May Street and there was a red suitcase in the middle of the sidewalk. How mysterious, I thought. I walked up to it, and circled around it. I noticed the zipper was open. I did not investigate further.

On the drive home I saw a group of undercover cops on East School Street making an arrest on the sidewalk. I recognized one of the officers. Okay, I'm ready to go home and read.
