pictures without a video

today I ran over a inch and a half spike while looking for birthday presents in
woolworths. After apologies, they wheeled me out into the sunshine were I sat unable to
move for an hour and half waiting for my husband to drive back from work and rescue
me (again). I had my phone so called a coffee shop whose number was helpfully painted
on the side of the shop and a woman with an apron on brought me a latte and with a
side dose of sympathy which was appreciated.
If I had had my video camera on me I would have sent you pictures of the people
walking by.
New mothers with infants in various states of distress.
elderly couples walking slowly, negotiating the litter with sticks and handbags
men is dark glasses who felt young and sunloved
women with hair pulled back leting the breeze touch their necks
children with capped cups sipping orange juice under parasols
the smell of bacon pulling people into the cafe rather than the shelf full of wholewheat
the photographer who came unasked to take my picture because (she said) people
needed to know
my reflection in the phone shop, slightly tilted as the tyre splayed out on the pavement
2 people said they liked my pink hair - I could have recorded that
put it in a piece
so you could see
high and low
up and down
on and off
mixed together.
