walks

an older woman and a younger gentleman were chatting outside of a school. “alright, i’ll see you later,” with a smile and a laugh. for some reason, hearing him say that as they parted ways made me happy.

there was a community garden on the block near the park. when i was looking to move here, i took a walk around this same block. seeing that garden convinced me this would be a great place to live. somehow, though, i’ve forgotten about it until now.

on my way back, i noticed park workers gathering up leaves, with kids running about on the playground. can’t caring for one another be this simple?
