Summer Vacation
A ramshackle, blue
hand-cart stands abandoned in the park, where I walk my dog. I see urchins
playing in and around it. They have placed bricks to replace the broken
wheels. One of the boys rocks them up and down amidst loud giggles and
laughter.
My dog jumps into
the bandwagon with the children who know her well, and I take a picture on
my cell phone. Now they all jump out and pester me to show it to them and
ask me to take some more.
