summer in the city

I sit here...a silently still individual on a patio on a gorgeous spring day. All around me is a mazzive buzz of traffic...people traffic. The heat of the day penetrates me, even in the shade and even the breeze is moist with humidity. This can only mean there will be a thunderstorm at some point soon...but i don't care. I love storms. I look around and all i can see are all different people...old people...young people....young women in their business attire on lunch break...young men in their business attire, althout all their suits are oversized...people out walking their dogs, riding bikes, rollerblading...

I saw a woman on rollerblades while using a cane because she could barely stand up...there is a fat man wearing tight bike shorts...homeless people asking for change. All different people from all walks of life are all crossing this intersection....for a lot of my life i have despised this city...and to a certain degree i still do...but something about this day has changed that...looking at all the people eating next to open patio doors...seeing the massive variety of people...makes me realize it's not such a bad place
