Romeo Y Julietta

Downtown

Dear Guy who works at the Flower Mart,

I saw you pick up the pace to a kind of skip-walk-run and wondered why you were in such a hurry; you then came to a slow stride matching your steps with a cute little chica.  Your friends at the orchid stall laughed at you but I thought it was kind of sweet, and that girl you are obviously crushing on was none the wiser.

Well Played!

Solo

Dear Girl Playing A Violin in the morning sun while standing alone in front of the California Plaza on Grand Avenue,

Your image was as startling as it was arresting; you made me wish I was on foot instead of wheels so that I could have the chance to stop and listen.

Brava!

Some Kind of Crazy

Downtown

Dear Man crossing the the street at 5th and Grand,

As you stepped off the curb I instantly sensed you were wired differently.  Were you going to be the "guy that argues with himself", or perhaps "guy that yells out words for no reason"?  Turns out, you were neither, I got "guy who stops and stands directly in front of my car".  You stared at me with bulging eyes and jaw dropped; then in a flash your momentary lapse ended and you continued on your "normal" way.  It was strangely intimate.  I wonder if you even saw me.
