Sidewalk Story

The living stereotype was dressed in a

knee length leopard print coat,

white pants, a fedora and a cane

fashioned from a tree branch.

"Bitch better have my money!"

he said to no one in particular.

Everyone stood in silence as he

walked through the small crowd.

He said it again, perhaps hoping

to elicit a response from us. It

wasn't going to happen. An

eternity of seconds passed before

he resumed his walk down the

street. At the end of the night I'm

sure that's all anyone in that crowd

was going to remember the next

morning. I wonder if he ever found

her and got his money.
