The year is now about half over, and the weather seems to have taken a definite spring/summer turn. It's nice enough that I don't feel bad about wearing short sleeves at work. I can drive with the windows down and it's comfortable. Even though we weren't busy with calls, we did manage to get out of the car and amuse ourselves with a walkabout in the apartments in town.
I'm starting off the new month with some free verse.
Nice Night For A Walk, If You Can Get It
Another weather perfect night, out of so many crappy ones
Nice night for a walk, if you can get it
Better than the night before, I drove with windows down
Nice night for a walk, if you can get it
It still wasn't bad when the guard flagged me over
Nice night for a walk, if you can get it
Gang related graffiti, was I surprised? Not at all
Nice night for a walk, if you can get it
We held off on the full tour until after the bars closed
Nice night for a walk, if you can get it
And I had a talk with some people that I know
Nice night for a walk, if you can get it
Watching a drunk cross the tracks, so I stopped him
Nice night for a walk, if you can get it
He gave us information on his own, on a whim
On our stroll through apartments old and new we got our share
Of graffiti, sweat, piss, tortillas and despair
But, all in all, it was a nice night for a walk, if you can get it
