I walked down the street in the cool fall breeze staring at the cracks and imperfections in the concrete, my hair blowing in front of my eyes, maple leaves blowing underfoot. I walked past the drunk bum, the girl in the cheetah jacket, the crying kid, the tabok (newstand), the group of people too cool for me, dusters and sunglasses, the business woman in her business suit with her business portfolio, the flower shop with the roses, tulips, and marigold's all teeming with the presence of baby's breath. Smoked a cigarette, inhaled the carcinogens and air pollution. Drank a beer, destroyed my liver. Went to a concert and made my neck sore for a couple days and made my ears ring.
And I realized, this is life. This is what's here. It's an experience, so take it all in, because it's beautiful.
