I Spy: night-time
A farmer in baggy overalls and a John Deere cap, quietly studying the river;
Children watching the baseball game, scorning mother’s repeated call;
Old couples flirting on riverside benches;
A giant of a man sitting on a lone bench. softly speaking, “Hey Girl”;
Fishermen on the banks, pensive and still;
Homerun Fireworks (just enough);
Young man mumbling coordinates into a cell phone, the Caddy with the other caller pulls up to make an exchange;
A low whistle from a shadowy figure in yet another Cadillac;
Ducks sans babies (already put to sleep for the night);
My vintage pumas running down the steps and then back up again.
More from the I Spy series.
