Strange and beautiful thing
I kind of wish now I'd looked out the window to see him, that would explain some things, but would it ruin the mystique?
I'm channel-surfing when a sound breaks through the din. It's a man, middle-aged by the sound of him, walking or bicycling through the streets singing a simple three-note melody. His pitch is excellent, so he's not drunk. There's no truck motor--and it's after ten at night--so he's not some kind of item pickup rolling through. The melody has a vaguely spiritual quality about it, and the tone says he's not out looking for a lost dog. So what is he doing, exactly? I think he was moving too fast to be on foot but I'm not sure.
Neat, and weird.
