Observations made (while walking through the South Loop area [ of Chicago IL] while holding two pinatas)
-Latino children with wide eyes, eyes like saucers with dark chocolate irises. and their parents hush them and hold them to their hip or mid thigh.
-an androgynous figure in a baseball cap wears a sly smile.
-a shaky handed old black man asks for candy and says please after his fingers already collapse around the candy.
-murmured stories about third grade teachers stringing the bright beasts, stars, and pleasing shapes across the ceiling of their classroom.
-conversations that are inaudible until you hear a brief elated "pinata?!".
-a drug store employee who (while i was searching for the cheapest and yet still tasty candy) strikes up a fun yet almost incomprehensible conversation in which details were immediately forgotten, possibly about never growing up or college being expensive. Bless that cheerful soul I was not in my best state for it was early on a Sunday morning.
the world is wild and poetic
just take a double take every once and a while
