last night we went for a nice bike ride to the grocery store.  on the way home
we passed a funeral home.  standing on the sidewalk in front of it was a young
girl.  she was very blonde.  she was wearing a black dress.  she was holding
a boquet of flowers that was larger than her.  she was also wearing a grey
fedora.  the hat didn't fit the rest of her pristine tiny image.  i wondered
if it belonged to her grandfather and that's whose funeral she had been
attending.  i stared at her and she stared back.  we had an intense eye
contact moment and she she smiled a huge smile that seemed so out of place.
i smiled back.
