charlotte street sightings, friday evening before christmas

the mere existence of some of which was shocking:
actually on sentient being walking down the road, loose mesh camouflage shirt with white-trimmed black polo collar.
naked big bumsee mannequins trussed together like a defeated insurgency on the pavement outside an empty lot.
police in full riot gear with guns "at rest" pointing directly toward traffic.
yin-yang bandanna, face-obscuring wraparound darkers, 3quarter-length navy trench flapping mid-shin of too-skinny legs in tall dark dress socks and shiny pointy-toe shoes.
perfect circle of powder up-centre of her chest, evenly situated between collar and bosom.
nicholai la barrie.
walk good.
