It is very cold out
On days like this, pacing keeps your mind off things
Pacing makes one warm
Allows one to think without interruption
Making circles that never end against pavement that stretches out as far as you can see
with ones head always down, blocking off wind, you notice more about the pavement
Whether filled with newspapers that have never been read, or trash strewn alongside it.
It is odd, when it rains
the pavement is much more pleasant to walk on
and you are much more pleasant to see
