Jasmine: Today As I Watched

Today as I watched, a round yellow tennis ball sitting on the floor filled with life, and quite suddenly it jumped up from the ground, it bounced there for a while gaining altitude, and when it was high enough someone walked over and snatched it from the air.

Today as I watched, a charred piece of scrap light on fire, and as the fire spread across the blackened carbon new paper blossomed, first fragile and yellow and finally gleaming white poured from the flame, and once the white was disgorged the flamed moved on creating more new and finally returning home to it’s match.

Today as I watched, a man was chewing on something. He was thinking very hard about it. He was chewing and chewing and from his mouth he pulled a tan triangle roughly the size of the last bone in my thumb. However he didn’t appear done, he was still wildly chewing showing signs of excitement and pleasure at his task. He spit out another tan piece and another until there was a tan tube the length of my hand filled with a lighter color almost white. I expected him to stop here, instead, moving much faster he drew from his mouth a thin layer of white and yellow speckled with brown and red coming down to a triangular point. He smiled satisfied in his creation of a slice of pizza.
