The clouds didn't hide the sun today. It made me happy and I wandered around in it. I watched the squirrels fight as an old lady left seeds for them. The grass was still muddy so I stayed on the sidewalk. I wondered what it would be like to be a squirrel. I watched the water in the river. It was muddy. I also wondered what it would be like to be a goose. Geese were all around scavaging in the muddy lawns for a bite of food here and there. Young moms took their children to the park to play. One beautiful mom brushed her kid off with a little broom before she let her in her new car. Two tall black men in nice suits walked with a short white man who wasn't dressed nearly as well. They talked loudly about the beautiful sunny day. One women handed me a pamphlet as we walked across the street. The pamphlet contained bible verses and told me how to become a christian. I read it and wondered if it made sense to people that didn't grow up in the church. I left in on a bench. Another lady asked me for a dollar. I gave it to her for some reason and wondered as I walked away what she would spend it on.
