we passersby

On Kelvin Way they were sweeping and piling up dead leaves. I was out walking off my hangover with my son. A thousand thoughts in my thick head, a thousand thousand fallen wet mulching leaves.

A man, possibly a shepherd, was training his collies to herd across the way. At first we passersby thought he was just a bit angry and unhinged with his loud sergeant major shouts of "STOP!" and "LIE DOWN!", but when we saw the dog and its sly manouvering around the other 3 collies there all became apparent.

We watched a while then headed off to buy ukulele strings.
