Ain’t too proud (to beg)

Posted on May 18th, 2019 Comments Off on Ain’t too proud (to beg)

A stabbing. Or Shooting. Or whatever.

Posted on February 22nd, 2019 Comments Off on A stabbing. Or Shooting. Or whatever.

Earlier there were eight cruisers and an ambulance. No news trucks. I guess it’s become so common that it’s not worth reporting on. Always something going down in this neighbourhood.

Breakfast crash

Posted on February 21st, 2019 Comments Off on Breakfast crash

Morning coffee, check. Toast, check. Weather report, on. News chopper, hovering. Sirens, blaring.

Posted on October 24th, 2018 Comments Off on A mashup from the streets
