The old neighborhood. An observation. By: Pete Del Rossi
What’s strange about the old neighborhood is not the look so much.
Everything looks the same, maybe a little bigger…no…maybe a little more overgrown.
The houses have a different hue, maybe a little more modern color.
Sidewalks and asphalt are dimmed a bit by age.
But what really is strange, are the sounds. They are all different.
Louie’s dog, this ones cat, Joes dog…..some of the viciousness of the neighborhood pets but also some of the kindness.
It’s kinda strange…time has passed….a mere 25 years…and so have all the animals.
It’s kinda sad when you think about it…a short life span.
I guess….it’s a dogs life.
