crossing the bridge over the creek he went to the far curb to walk beside into traffic

it irritated drivers that he wasnt on the sidewalk

it was in bad shape comparatively the street gutter wasnt as cracked upset uneven besides he read as he walked negotiating a crappy sidewalk woudbe distracting  hed rather attend to ingesting history

not fifty metres after crossingkeeping to the roadside out of his periphery in the street he glimpsed an unsightly coarse black smudge 

                it wasnt there a week ago 

no traffic

he took the book away from his face an investigated hoping it was dumped oil an adherent filth

NO SUCH LUCK 

                 someone picked the carcass off the road tossed it to the graveled shoulder where the creek ran 

a cat 

      it was for all intent an purposes a stark silhouette distinguishable crushed head body tail three legs

Dammit 

          almost wished he wasnt curious 

he was tempted  had he chalk hed give it an outline cops gave murder victims 

                                                                                   Oh snap 

human beings get the benefit distinction  consideration   scene of a crimeYes   drivers coud care less

   was on his way to the library  afterwards headed over to the 99cent store bought chalk returning he provided a rainbowcoloured outline it was picturesque  enough to make dead people situp an think they were cheated
