Another World

I’ve been sick this week. It’s absolutely painful for me to get sick because I have a hard time sitting still and slowing down. However this week my body and my brain joined forces and I’ve been stuck in my apartment going to bed early and craving noodle soup.

The other morning I woke up to the oddest sounds. There were two elderly men in the back alley singing songs in Spanish. While they were singing they were stomping on cans from my neighbors recycling! Talking, laughing, singing and stomping on cans. They didn’t have a cart full of stuff like many of the dumpster divers do. They were just stomping on cans and goofing around.

The noise kept me awake for a while. I watched them for about 10 minutes anxious for the grand finale. Then after the cans seemed nice and flat they put them back in my neighbors recycle bin and left the alley.

I’m not sure what world I woke up in...but it was kind of nice...
