City sights & sounds, crazy

[Philagoofy]

Is it a full moon cause it’s been a nutty day & it’s not even noon yet.

This morning driving into work on a small one way street in center city I see a man with a backpack standing on the left side of the street. He walks to the middle, throws it on the right side of the road & walks back to where another man is standing. They’re facing one another talking and you just know something’s about to happen.

Sure enough, they start swinging at each other. Now we’re getting close & they’re in the middle of the road fighting, so I lay on my horn, not about to sit & wait for them to be done & be late for work. They stop & move off.

Now a few minutes ago I was growing roots so I decided to take a short walk outside to stretch out. Not a block away is a guy sitting on a bench with a microphone & small speaker, ranting about how “you all can cuss me but what happened in New Orleans is going to happen in Philly and God…” etc. While I’m walking past him there’s a woman walking toward me and answering him with “yea!”, “YEA!”.

So I go another block & turn the corner, there’s a guy sitting outside with a small can of Barbasol, lathering up his face, guess he needed a shave.

Ah, the things you see & hear.
