the last street portrait

I love driving around Lexington, listening to NPR, crying tears when someone touches my heart with her words, watching people.

 

main street morning

the tattered and worn

wake up to traffic

I stare at them from  my

car as I drive to the dog park

 

or they trudge

downtown from shelters

free breakfast

outside the library

hot coffee just like home

    Carole, I love the irony of “just like home.” I’ve enjoyed the local color in your writing.
