Jul 2019
A young woman, the wind whipping her hair around.
A middle aged man in an SUV
screaming into his cell phone, oblivious to the world around him.
Two children crying incessantly, begging their mother to take them home.
A fifteen year-old rusted up Chevy
with only a few miles left to give.

The blinking lights of a police car in the distance.
A lone and frail cat, scavenging for food.
The flickering signs of the restaurants nearby.
An endless soft hum from a vending machine.

A married couple about ten feet away, fighting over their last few dollars.

Some tore up old newspapers strewn around.
And a little bit of music dancing over the breeze.

You never know what you’ll find...

...in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
