Running in South City
On Macklind:
First I hear a thump-thump of feet, then the jangling of a chain. A fit, beautiful girl, running with her dog, passes me like I’m standing still.
Bitch.
Down Loughborough:
Three teenage boys walk in line down the side walk. They see me, I see them. Neither party changes course. At the last second, before collision, Both I and the far-left side kid move a half-step to either side.
On January:
An overweight gay man walking his dog says “Good job! It’s too hot to run!”
“Thanks, I think you’re right”, I reply.
Further on January:
A redneck guy on a scooter drives up and down the street, back-and-forth, back-and-forth.
Fucking hoosier.
…and then I’m home.
