Sidewalk

A little girl with blond pigtails and silver sandals practicing jumping over sidewalk squares.

A homeless man with a swollen backpack and a taut stomach.

A toddler riding on the shoulders of a young man in flip-flops

A man in an electric wheelchair walking a golden retriever.

Four hot Starbucks drinks and two folded cardboard boxes balanced by a woman in a black dress.

Two girlfriends sharing a cigarette.

Three boys practicing gymnastics over a mail box. One is good. The other two are pathetic.

Backpacks, briefcases, hobo purses, dogs on leashes, strollers, I-pods on joggers, and a cell phone gracing the ear of every third person, this city-street window is by far the most engaging work space I've ever enjoyed.
