the garage where i park my car is adjacent to a park that has converted much of its open area into playing fields. after sliding into a spot late last night i bundled up in layers for the long walk home in the snow that was still easing its way down. the stairs down to the ground floor run past the soccer field. and there they were. crazy soccer fanatics. in shorts. playing. in the middle of the night. teams even, with uniforms, shin guards, matching shoes. their breath expelled into the cold air like word bubbles, silently expressing the calls they were making to each other as they moved down the field.
i stopped to breathe in the air and shaking slightly with the chill, decided to run home.
