Today on my run I found a note on the sidewalk. Of sorts.

It went on for over two blocks. I'm not sure if it's song lyrics or perhaps we have a poet in our neighborhood. A sidewalk poet.
We watched blue birds dive into the yellow sky
Like Cheerios into a yellow bowl
I loved God only for the birds
She loved nothing and no-one[sic]
Fine Except. Accept.
Anyway, my mother is calling.
She sees the light of hope.
I hung up before saying how much I missed her being sane.
Tomorrow I'm flying to somewhere
I can't tell where or when I'll land.
My shuttle will reach its hub any moment now.
Taking a bag from under the seat I made my way to the dock.
Like a blue bird, the rocket dives into the sky.

Very interesting poem. I like it. Its different and unique as in the sense of it been written on a sidewalk. Artistic people in your neighborhood
I think that's really cool! Maybe I'll start doing it around here.
"Dear Neighbor,
Your little dachshund
Likes to shit in my yard
If you do not pick it up
My toddler will shit in yours.
Except. Accept."
Heh. Anything for art...
