See

I see a lot of greenery that shouldn't actually be here, but makes it pretty all the same.
I see the misters are on and wonder how much water they waste.
I see a lot of people walking very slowly.
I see more girls than I should wearing ridiculous heels.
I see this beautiful cup of crushed ice in front of me.
I see a stupid red truck that's been parked there way too long.
I see a guy with a bluetooth that doesn't look like he actually understands what's in his ear.
I see people wearing things you'd have to threaten me in a really good way to get me to wear.
I see the empty chair across from me that is supposed to be filled with my beautiful Ayrian.
I see the absence of his smile.
I see that his phone is off and he's probably handling a crisis. Or just fucking around.
I see that it is definitely ice cream season.
I see tons of babies in strollers. And I see that I'm glad they belong to someone else.
I see a creepy lurker guy walking way too slowly for it to be the heat.
I see peacefulness. The lull brought on by the heat actually has value.
I see that I seem to have purists out there reading my crap and not bothering to comment. Yes, I'm looking at you.
I see the the same armored truck lady I just saw in our store going into another one. And I see that is a job I would not want.
I see that bench from here. And I see that I don't harbor it the ill will I once did. And I see that I am pleased.
I see that I am completely alone, and that I'm pretty good company.
I see that I am quite curious as to what others would say on the subject.
I see shades of grey, but hardly ever black and white.
I see older people holding hands and it makes me smile. Happy and envious at the same time.
I see that there must be a million things right in front of me that I'm missing.
I see people going about their business, and not one of them has had their face buried in their phone. Cool.
I see people dressed too warmly and seriously regretting it.
And I see that I should get back to work....
