City
Folks and Country Folks
Sitting
on the curb drinking my can of soda, I observed. City folks and
country folks think they are so different. They are really not. We
all gas our cars, buy our groceries, feed our children, and cook our
dinners. There are jealous men, and; women who stray from the path
of rightousness. Hidden from view, the low branches obscure my
prying eyes and ears. I hear a voice. It is a man, he curses loudly
into his cell phone. This is the sound of a mistreated man. He
advises his conversant that the back of his front will be HIS if he
catches him with HER! These things happen in bustling cities and
quiet country towns. The sound of jealousy and rage have all the
same resonance and resolve. The car's engine reves reflecting his
anger. I can see by the plastic covering the passenger window that
life is not easy for him, and his voice leaves an impression on my
mind. Country or city, life is not always kind.
