She always smiles. It seems like nothing can ever get her down. The news on the phone throws all that away.

She keeps saying 'I'm sorry for interrupting' as she talks on and on. No one else says a word. Who exactly is she interrupting?

She sips her coffee with sugar and sadness. She looks at her watch just one more time. She goes ahead and orders a small breakfast.

He comes fuming over to her desk, pointing at his watch. He yells. She yells back. They laugh as he walks off.

She stands there as her two kids crawl all over the wishing well. The girl keeps looking in to find wishes. The boy makes a donation of milk from his bottle.

He exits the store carrying a small bag and a big smile. He made a happy purchase.

He flexes his muscle car by zooming past. Oh look, he's made it to the red light first. Again.

He swipes his card for the sixth unsuccessful time. One more time, he figures; this time with gusto! After the machine falls off its stand in pieces, the cashier tries to calm him with "it happens." Red faced, he pays with cash.

While the jazz band played on, the women in the back start their chant, "Go Grandma! Go Grandma! Go Grandma!" Sure enough, Grandma was "gettin' down with it."

He's angry at the driver in front of him, for going so slow. When that car pulls aside, he speeds up to be right behind the next car. Now he's angry at that driver too.

The bee flies by their table. She's the only one who jumps up and runs off. All the guys just stare.

The spider web shimmers in the sunlight. It looks so much better than yesterday's attempt. Practice makes perfect.

He parks his car with the handicap sticker into the closest spot. He gets out and runs into the gym. I hope for his sake he never really needs that sticker.

He calls her over to gawk. She comes over and gawks. They giggle. The woman who looks like a man sits in her office oblivious to them... or so it seems.

He lingers around her like her perfume. He's busy making jokes, making small talk... making googly eyes. What he's not making is progress.

She rollerblades with only the right blade on. Her daughter is wearing the left. Never let half the funds get in the way of a whole lot of fun.

He commands the sidewalk in all his muscle boundness. Surely the dog on the other end of that leash must be equally as large. The cute puppy rounds the corner, almost as big as his bicep.

As night approaches, the clouds hug the mountains. They kiss and the clouds blush at sunset... And hold each other into the darkness.

She stands on the corner, talking a mile a minute with her friend. Their husbands stand in silence, just smiling and nodding at each other. Now that says it all.

He doesn't realize that he's arguing with someone smarter. With every counterpoint, he changes his story. Never let the facts get in the way of winning an argument.

As the meeting drones on, she takes her notes in pictograms... flowers, trees, butterflies. She either understands her notes or doesn't understand the meeting.

He makes pleasant small talk, until HER name comes up. Then he rolls his eyes and avoids the subject. There's much more to this than meets the eye.

The flowers at her desk have passed their prime. The petals droop into lifeless streaks of orange, yellow and brown. They kind of look like her overly dyed hair now.

The parking attendant hands back only $1.50 change, after charging the maximum fee. He smiles revealing a mouth full of gold teeth. I now know why.

He stands by his car struggling with a bunch of boxes. Each time he leans down to pick up another box, the car door swings closed. The car either has a nasty streak or a sense of humor.

Two lanes merge into one around the construction area. Cars take turns filling the space; all except the little yellow Corvette. She has her own determined plans and isn't going to let manners or other cars get in her way. Her level of 'generosity' is notable.
