Spokane,
sizzling hot,
asphalt melting,
basketballs bouncing
everywhere,
funky team uniforms:
how 'bout
the guys dressed
in ski gear
breakdancing
on the court
in 103
degree
weather,
sunscreen, water bottles,
foot-high snowcones,
music blaring,
kids dancing,
playing in the fountain
drenched and warming
on the hot cement.
running into friends
who are your neighbors
back home.
watching people
people watching,
an afternoon at Riverfront Park.
