From Picture to Page: What Happened at Andrew Square

Wrestled with a picture taken earlier in the week, I settled on an event(?) and a photo taken on the way home last night.


What Happened 
at Andrew Square

It starts or ends
with a woman's scream.

Before you cross the street
cars pass by speeding up
anticipating a getaway.

Everyone's walking away,
slowly, even the one
carrying the skateboard.

The only woman left
looks for stragglers,
sees you, asks for cigarettes.

That's when you know
to make yourself scarce.
