in between leaf blowers i see a fellow i know in the library and he waves to me and i sigh and say i got to go it's too hot and i got a dog to get and he smells bad of sweat and booze and his eyes are red and he tells me his sister died and he can't stop crying and shows me a thing he wrote for her memorial, another angel got to heaven, and i go oh man i'm sorry, my only sister and i see she was born the same year as me and died at 60. and then the leaf blowers blew the dead leaves in a poison cloud of exhaust over me.
