Two free-swingin’ folks – obviously a couple from their matching wide toothless laughter, dashing for it in the hazy orange morning light. Looking to me as if waiting for me to acknowledge the hilarity of their situation, they ran on past.
Got me smiling all the way to work.
Right around the corner where I turn for work, a couple of scrap collectors were caught right in the middle of an 8AM traffic jam of cranky not-to-mention late motorists with a rickety wagon of junk. Their grins were so bright with childish mischief and playfulness, they made me think of menacing peasant children chased down by a butcher or a confectioner and in the grey-orange flurry of dust, sun and morning chill, the sight of them was so cinematic, for a second there, I had this alien feeling that I was in somebody else’s life, not in mine. haha.
I never have time for drawing anymore so I made do with 5-minute squiggles with a purple Sharpie at work so I could at least have a small memento of the two free-swinigin’, toothless folks before sitting down for work.
P.S. They actually had enough teeth but their toothlessness stood out more so let’s leave it at that.
P.P.S. Ah, this is all I want to do, talk about silly people I see on the streets and draw and paint.
