All Within Twelve Hours

I saw a bus driver get out of his bus, which was blocking at least 3 city blocks of rush hour/baseball game traffic, to do some stretches next to the door.

I saw devastating pictures of New Orleans, a city near and dear to my heart, one of my favorite places in the world.

I saw Biff sitting at our table, a little tipsy and smiling and laughing – she looked beautiful.

I saw a homeless woman sitting on the steps of the church down the street, bag at her feet, staring out into nothing.

I saw a train go by with 3 aircraft fuselages strapped onto flat cars. Massive!

To steal a line from Jim Jarmusch (and imagine a young Tom Waits warbeling it in falsetto if you would), ‘it’s a sad and beautiful world’.
