People-Watching

When I people-watch, I wonder Who they are and where they live Through the hints that they unconsciously, Or with their knowledge, give. Have they moved here after college Or come searching for a job? In their rentals or their sublets, Who’s a neatnik? Who’s a slob? Are they happy in the city? Do they miss where they were raised? Do the crowds and noises freak them out Or are they quite unfazed? Where they headed on this Sunday? Is there someplace they must be? Or perhaps they’re out to just relax And people-watch, like me.

"Who’s a neatnik? Who’s a slob?" - I love this part; thinking beatnik, neatnik.

A truly enjoyable and definitely educational pursuit that everyone should take advantage of because it is so affordable and close at hand. For safety's sake, just be discreet and a little cautious so as not to offend. lol

Ilene, It's true-- so much fun to people watch! I miss long-ago days when my friend and I would each buy a coke and a bag of chips, sit in car and people watch.
