its an unnatural river, water coursing through gutters and down the spout to the pavement below. it flows a little faster there, no earth to slow it. everything is a little faster in the city I reckon. everything seems to move with a little less regard for what's around it. that pavement is cracked below that down spout, has been for years. the water runs underneath it too and that whole lot of asphalt is getting ready to collapse.
I watch them walk across there everyday, appreciative that their feet aren't muddy. well they are about to be muddy. real damn muddy.
