City workers went on strike, told the mayor "take a hike". All the neighborhoods were like, "Hey, we're kinda mad now."
No waste pickup for a week, dumpsters placed that all may seek. Populace chimes in critique, "We don't want to scab now."
Garbage bringers come at night, stacking trash bags to great height, shyly slinging by moonlight, noting, "Smells real bad now."
After time the union kneels. City hall curbed their appeals. Said about the whole ordeal, "Budget's ironclad now."
"Smoking, vaping, fare evasion, if you're seen, can lead to fines." Antisocial act dissuasion on a brightly colored sign.
White on red to get attention from the riders of the train. The specific law is mentioned, so if caught you can't complain.
No words, though, on urination. Maybe that means it's okay. Pee all over the train station without getting locked away.
(no photo, at the bar, next to a young...couple)
Golden hair, and golden rings, and arms and legs adorned with ink. Rapid fire fingers flick an endless travel photo stream. Also endless monologue; never pauses, never breathes. Boyfriend isn't even looking, just keeps pawing at her knee.
The boyfriend's definitely bored. He clearly is not interested. He's looking at the Phillies' score on his feed from Insta instead.
Lots of noise and lots of dust. Ineffective 'lectric gusts. Gathering debris like this? Gonna be a while at it. For an hour walk around. Sweeping would be done by now. Across the park I watch and sit and listen to your coughing fit. You should wear a mask, dude. Inhaling that is bad for you.
The tidied common sure is nice though. Is this your job or do you live close?
I'm walking down the street reading a book about delight. While aiming at my feet, my eyes detect a creepy sight. I've passed a thousand times before but never once could see the frosted steps beneath this door are looking back at me.
