This is a picture I did not take
of an empty parking lot in early morning light, a boy and a girl in the
middle of it, the boy 15 feet away from the girl, both of them facing away
from me and bent over at the waist, tripodding like sandpipers hunting
beach grubs, the boy with a piece of blue chalk in his right hand, the
girl with pink, each drawing long straight lines perpendicular to the
parking spaces for no apparent reason at all.
