Four Cars Back at the Car Wash Blues
Wonder and surprise, this duplicity comes from the mere simplicity of the moment and seems most available to the young. Now old I walk ocean side on secluded beaches during the off season seeking solice. Walking and slowing the pace of life reveals layers of details never before observed, while in my other life I looked through binoculars backwards, everything at a distance. I find that when I am four cars back at the car wash, on a humid day, I suspend my expectations as my life is no longer attached to outcomes. I observe the fine detail and make sense of life in the moment. The couple in the blue Audi coupe in front of me, drop their fast food wrappers and containers on the parking lot. The young girl, with the shapely figure, with holes in her blue jeans leaves the car suddenly, as if disgusted, abondoning her boy friend in bewilderment with such wonder and surprise.
