The River Will Flow On

A slow news day. Some famous people died of natural causes, others survived to about stuff no one cared about. I turned off the car radio and parked in a small layby at the side of the river. There was a guy in a large truck sleeping in his cab. On the other side of my corvette a couple of teenagers 'making out.' I wondered that if I died here in my car watching the grey river rolling slowly by would anyone here notice? Probably the cops would not show up until tomorrow, by then it would smell a lot like a slow news day.
