flowing through the streets

i was walking the other day... had to park and walk to a store. sadly though, the store and parking lot were not right next door to each other so i had to walk through some hollywood streets. now, it's not the best neighborhood, but it's definitely not dangerous. i did feel slightly out of place as i heard my work high heels clicking on the sidewalk. but i just pulled my wool pea coat more tightly around me and tried to walk faster. passed the first homeless person who politely asked me if i could spare some change on the way back to my car. 'that was nice' i thought and decided to give him something on the way back.

after my brief shopping trip i started back towards my car. suddenly i was startled when i noticed a man/woman squatting behind a parked car. my first thought was 'hmm...man or woman?'. my second thought was, 'why is he/she squatting?' and my third thought was 'oh no! really?'. yes, really. i could hear the reason that the man/woman was squatting start to hit the concrete and trickle down the block so i started booking it back. even though those damn high heels were killing my feet. when i got to the nice homeless dude i promptly gave him a $5 bill and thought 'it's for not pissing on me.'

though people probably pay a lot more than that to have people piss on them.
