Rain or shine. Well almost.. but
The regulars make the stroll..I can almost set my clock,that is if need it.
Two ladies. I call them Mutt and Jeff, Mutt in the right side,Jeff on the left.

One short the other taller.
A morning ritual. On occasion, Jeff does a solo
Mostly with her wing man though. I watch them come and go.

I asked them their names once but my memory is like smoke in the early morning
breeze some days

The regulars. set your clock or calender.
I sense a long and abiding bond .Many shared tears and joys.

Nisei or Sansei.?
I cant say for sure.

The regulars
Like Sunshine rising east.

I am the watcher.
The reader of the constant.
The regulars .They see me silent mostly.
Ghostly.

I am a regular in knee pants.
They teach me to be still and regular.
To myself be true.

One day I can be a regular too.
This isΒ Β about a duo of Japanese American women who have
walked the walk on my block. We dont speak. but they teach me about
dedication,fitness and friendship.
