I continued to walk down the sidewalk and fixed my gaze to the rhythmic cycling of the little boy on the tricycle. It was a bedazzled first bike, complete with streamers on the handlebars and a fresh red paint job. The blue speck peaked out of the handlebar and climbed onto the sidewalk, hiding itself between a piece of glass and a Reese's wrapper in the crack. It then leaped quickly from the cement to the No Parking Anytime sign and cozied itself to the inside of the letter O. I stared at it inquisitively, wondering if this blue speck could really find any nesting comfort in a two-dimensional letter O.
The speck then passed me in the window of the maroon car, with something like a tongue sticking out of its sliver of a mouth. It was starting to get personal. I had to take action.
