Pigeons pick away at puke on the sidewalk.
A girl about 14 years old is stretched out in a doorway,
half covered by a dirty pink blanket.
Seagulls call out overhead.
Last night, last week, last year hang heavy in the air.
I kick a needle case out of my way.
I step over spit and piss.
Two men argue in a alley as I pass.
"Fuck you." is the extent of it.
The absence of wit and shame is apparent.
I take the last drag of my cigarette and throw it.
Within an instant someone comes from behind me to pick it up.
They were waiting for me I realize.
Waiting for me to be done.
I hear a man yelling about a block away.
Oddly enough he blends in.
Anywhere but here, someone would run to help him.
Main and Hastings the street sign reads.
A bird shits and it hits the ground next to me about 2 feet away.
Fuck.
I'm lucky.
That was close.

I'm too scared to walk in that area. I find it terrifying enough being in my car.
....
That being said, whenever someone comes to visit me here, I always make sure to take a drive down Hastings just to show them.

Made me bust and I'm not sure why... Maybe because it's so blunt. It sounds like something Stephen King would throw in.

Obi Wan has taught you well, but you are not a Jedi yet.

These kinds of posts make me think happy thoughts of candycanes and gumdrops.
