Guy pushes his travelling cart with groceries and a dog. On the Lexus SUV side of town where you almost never see shopping carts travel outside the store parking lot.

Natural habitat

In their natural habitat, in daylight. Mingling in colors of different stores, outside the store. These carts want to leave, but can’t. So they wait for the right opportunity to escape, and in the meantime, pretend that they’re just waiting to be returned to the store.

Normally I write about carts, but today, I write about a woman, half-glimpsed, speeding by. She’s at a normal hang-out of carts, a bus stop, so I feel like I can write about her here.
Large, pants don’t meet her ankles. In that way that you know it’s because they are the only pants she has, [...]
